Seeking Calm in the Tempest

Irma scraped us, but Maria is coming at us head on.

We are busy hurricane proofing the house, as much as possible anyway.

Windows are sealed, dry foods and water are stored and we are securing what we can.

Tina opened up the vending machine at our Bible College to distribute what was in there among the students that will be waiting out the storm in the dorms.

The scary thing about this hurricane is that the hurricane force winds are to last about 24 hours. That is a long time under that kind of stress. Please pray for our safety and that we might be able to encourage our church members and Bible College students through this tempestuous trial.

Scarier Every Time I Look

We are following the track of Hurricane Irma, and it seems to be inching its way towards us. At first, the projected trajectory showed it missing our island by over a hundred miles to the north. But ever since then, the cone of probability has continues to move south and we now have a 50/50 chance of getting hit with hurricane force winds sometime between Wednesday and Thursday.

Prayers are appreciated whether we get a direct hit or not. Hurricanes that miss us still take their toll.

We have to distill and store water, hurricane proof the house and yard, reschedule activities and church attendance suffers. But then again, a miss is better than a direct hit.

Please pray for our safety here on the mission field of Puerto Rico
