As we travel back home to Pittsburgh, PA over the next few days, please continue to pray for the people of Tierra Neuva.  They have taught us a great deal about living a life devoted to God, family and community.  We will never forget this place or these special people and we look forward to our people returning next year...

As we said our goodbyes, Chuck Kovac hugged the spiritual leader of the village, saying in spanish "We are friends", and he replied "We are brothers!"  Yes, these are truly special people.

We encourage you to consider coming on next year's trip to this special place.  God has used this community to draw us close to Him and has given us a beautiful picture of a future heaven with Him and all His people.  We wish everyone could share in this experience.
