Greetings from Houston!

Joy and I apologize for not updating the Cross Trainers’ website these past few days.

We live in North Harris County, twenty miles north of downtown Houston, and we had to evacuate our home because of rising waters. We spent one night at a motel, and another at the home of our oldest son. Our other son, who lives just a few miles from our house, traveled north to Dallas with his family.

When we returned to our home on Tuesday, we were thrilled to find everything in good order, unlike tens of thousands of others who have suffered terrible loss.

Our prayer is that many will find consolation and blessing through their relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.

About donations for Hurricane Harvey relief. Although we have received offerings for missionaries and Christian programs around the world for over ten years, and although we send 100% of every dime received on to the designated recipients, we are not equipped to receive funds for hurricane recovery or victims.

Please be careful that any funds you do send go to a reliable organization, such as the Salvation Army.

We have been encouraged by the tremendous outpouring of generosity and volunteerism we’ve witnessed all around us.

God bless you for sharing your hearts with the people of Houston and the Gulf Coast.
