Hey all, the entire Pakistan team made it in with all of their bags! Yea!!!  It has been an incredible journey.  We have had the opportunity to make contact with more than 50,000 people during our visit.  On Sunday we went to a small church about an hour away from Patoki that grows flowers.  On our arrival, the entire community met us in the street and covered us with flowers beyond belief.  We also visited our home church in Patoki + 2 new churches started since last year.  During the 3 meetings, it was my privilege to bring the charge for 10 new ministers during their ordination service.  Friday was an awesome good Friday and then we were off to the USA on Saturday.  The trip could not have been any more fulfilling.  I watched Sherman Aten (check out www.atenministries.blogspot.com for more video links including Trace dancing with the Security in charge) lead in Worship and share his faith, Trace, Kevin, and Joe, share their testimonies, and I shared His word.Here is a link to the last night of worship in Patoki.  They don't dance in church but we did! Trace dancing before the Lord If you want to see the invitation and see the response go to the link Invitation in Patoki It was an incredible trip.  Let me just say, every Pakistani person we met was incredibly kind, curious, and respectful of us.  There were no incidents or hatred expressed the entire time.  Well, there was that one security guard at the airport in Lahore who really didn't like Trace's skateboard, but the other members worked that out! Ha Ha! It was an amazing trip, incredible opportunities, and eternally productive.  Thanks for all who followed, prayed, and helped us go!  Your the best.  Love you all and living fast.  David
