Our weekend "at the airport"

We spent this weekend (yesterday and today) at Keller Brothers airport near Lebanon, PA, where JAARS put on a Missions at the Airport event. Peter and I were the featured missionaries and we had a lot of opportunities to meet people and tell them where we're headed. We set up our own table, complete with Brazilian flag and chocolate! :) I also was able to get a ride in the JAARS helicopter (my first helicopter flight!) and Peter took a ride in the helicopter and the Helio Courier (pictured above).
We had a great time and were blessed to meet and talk with many of the JAARS staff putting on the event. Also, while we were at the airport, we received calls from a few people telling us that they had decided to give money toward our Equip and travel expenses. Because of these generous gifts, the cost of Equip and our travel expenses HAS NOW BEEN MET! Last week, we were wondering whether we would be able to go - God has completely met our needs and we are praising Him! We are heading to Florida this Thursday, October 11th. We plan to arrive in Orlando at Wycliffe on Saturday afternoon, and we will do our best to keep people updated while there. We will head back home on October 26th. We appreciate your prayers and also ask you to praise God with us for His provision! Here are a few more pictures from the weekend:
