Familia Marcum, Operation Ecuador: Furlough Highlights

Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior... Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.... “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

Furlough Highlights - Take 7

It was so nice to end our furlough time in Livonia, with my parents and our other supporting congregation, the Livonia C. of C., where my dad preaches. We enjoyed many delicous meals and visits in people's homes, great worship services and times of fellowship in small groups. We also took a day to drive down and visit my grandaddy's gravesite with my grandmother - which was a special time for me since I wasn't able to make it back for his funeral last November. Here are some pictures of our time in Livonia.
