| Dear Praying Family and Friends, I want to thank you all for the constant outpouring of care and support over these most difficult last months. These have been the most painful months of my life, and yet, God has been faithful in the midst of it. It has been good to be home with the boys focusing on them. I have felt the love and care of so many of you from around America and the world, and the Eagles' Wings team has demonstrated such faithfulness. Thank you all for your prayers for me and the boys, and for Ana. I am continuing, at least for the next couple months, to just wait on the Lord, and to attend to the many challenges of this complex process. One Scripture I have found solace in is… "Can the clay say to the Potter, 'What are you doing?' " (Is. 45:9). There have been so many times that I have said to God, "What are you doing?" . . . Though I do not understand His ways, I do still believe I will see the “goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13).
The team and ministry have continued not only to maintain, but to advance, in my absence. Just the other evening, they led a wonderful city-wide outreach in upstate New York. Plans are in full swing for the upcoming Jerusalem Banquet in May. If the Lord wills and circumstances permit, I hope to join the team at the upcoming Spring conferences. I am so proud of the team. They are so trained and empowered in Christ that they are able to really advance in this season. The maturity and holiness that I have seen in them in the midst of great shaking has been an incredible testimony.
Even if you do not hear much from me in this time, please know that every note, email, and phone call means so much. I especially appreciate your continued giving, which has not only sustained us in this time, but is allowing us to press into 2011 in great faith. Finally, please continue to pray. Prayer is often our great comfort, strength, and hope.
The Lord bless and keep you… Robert
