Some celebratory Churros con Chocolate!

Why you may ask? Because today we had our appointment with the immigration office to officially finish our application for residency.

We are approved! We have our 1 year visa! Praise God! We should have our official identification cards before the end of the month!

Thank you to everyone that has been praying with us through this process. This has been the least problematic experience we've ever had. No extra documents, no surprise requests, no drawn out processing.... Just application and approval.

So today's Churros are to celebrate God's faithfulness to us in bringing us back to the Canary Islands.

We made it to Gran Canaria!

19 hrs of travel
15 checked bags
9 carry-on items
5 timezones crossed
3 rambunctious kids antsy to be done traveling
2 exhausted parents
1 unforgettable memorable return to Las Palmas.

A group from the church surprised us with a huge welcome crowd, loud enough for the TSA agents to ask us who we were and if we were someone important, like a pro-athlete, I said no, we're just normal people, well loved.

PS every single bag arrived, that's a miracle in and of itself.

Thank you for your prayers for safe travels and favor with the airline, God heard your prayers and answered them!

Thank you Pastors and .zee and for a touching send off. This is our third term we are starting and it is still a bittersweet moment. We can't wait to be back in the Canary Islands, but we will miss our new friends at ZFA. You gave our girls a church home away from home and we know they've made some lifelong friendships. We pray the Lord's blessing and favor over you, may your impact and influence in Zephyrhills continue to grow.

A little over 48 hrs until we board the plane heading back to the Canary Islands.

We're about 95% packed.

Thank you Pastors Trent and Ressie and for hosting Lewen Family Missions on our final missions service of this itineration.

Your support in prayer especially over the years means the world to us. We are grateful to God for connecting us with communities of believers like Assembly Church that intercede not only for our family, but with our family in seeking that people would have an encounter with the Holy Spirit and be transformed.

Last call.... You're invited!!!

If you can make it to Zephyrhills tomorrow, we'd love to see you give you a hug and share with you a little taste of the islands. And more than anything be able to tell you thank you for your support through prayer and giving.

We'll have some Spanish tapas, coffee, and some American snacks for the less adventurous eaters. 😉

🗓️ Friday, May 16th
🕕 6-8pm
📍 ZFA - Zephyrhills First Assembly

We're almost 100% packed.

Thank you again to everyone who donated to make this possible.

What an amazing Mother's Day Sunday we had. No missions services, just attending and thanking God for mothers and their tireless work to care for their families.

Had the joy of visiting a long time friend and their wonderful community of followers of Jesus, making a huge impact for the kingdom of God in their area and beyond.

While there we were blessed to have someone who has been a spiritual father to us since I (Greg) moved to Florida, pray for us and bless us before we head back to the field. He helped me go on my first missions trip to Honduras back in 2007, he helped us get connected with AGWM missions and he spearheaded getting us fully funded the first time we went out more than a decade ago when we were just starting out.

We owe much to many people throughout our journey but few do we owe as much to as Pastors John and Sue Chesser. Thank you for your investment in our lives both spiritually and physically, thank you for giving us opportunities to minister as young ministers and thank you for taking the risk on a Sunday morning and allowing me to propose to Nikkita from the stage at the end of service.

We depart for the Canary Islands in 6 days.

Please keep the kids in prayer as they are in transition back to the island. They are excited to be going back, they are also antsy as they now are navigating saying goodbyes to people and things.

You're invited!!!

Hey friends and family, we are now a week away from returning to the Canary Islands!

We wish that we would be able to see and visit everyone one more time before we go, but that's just not possible. We still have much to prepare before we leave for four years.

So we have a simple solution. Zephyrhills First Assembly - ZFA has gracious not only allowed us to live on campus during the entirety of this itineration cycle, they are also going to allow us to host a farewell party in their Family Life Center.

*When you pull into the property the FLC is to the right of the sanctuary and clearly marked.*

In traditional Canarian fashion we will have:

• "aperitivos"
meat and cheese trays (some typical of the
Canary Islands and some good old fashioned
cheddar and salami)
• coffee
• tea
