 Mission to Micronesia

Lord willing, on Thursday of this week I will be leaving for a two week mission trip to Micronesia. After flying to Los Angeles in the morning I will leave there at 4:45 p.m., fly 2,556 miles and arrive at Honolulu airport at 8:35 p.m. Friday morning I leave at 6:55 a.m. and island hop southwest (stops on Majuro, Marshall Islands, Kwajalein, Marshall Islands, and Kosrae, Federated States of Micronesia) 3,088 miles to Pohnpei arriving on Saturday at 2:20 p.m. I cross the international dateline so I loose a day as well as several hours along the way.
After preaching for them and working with the two congregations on Pohnpei for the week of January 10-15, I will be leaving for Guam on January 16. I will be preaching there on Sunday January 17 and then working with that church the rest of the week. The Pohnpei church has a missionary family working with them and I will be staying in their home. One highlight of this trip is sure to be my reunion with Linter Kinleng who I baptized 29 years ago while he was a student at the University of Guam where I was a campus minister.
Likewise on Guam there is at least one family that I knew well when I worked with that church. It will be a real blessing to be with these dear brothers and sisters. The church on Guam has not had a located preacher for five years and from what they have said have had some real struggles. I hope and pray I can lift them up in the Lord and help them prepare for an influx of Marines being transferred there from Okinawa, Japan.
I need your prayers as I prepare here and as I labor there. I hope this will be the first of many trips there and perhaps some of you can accompany me in the future. God bless you all in my absence and I thank our elders who have encouraged this effort. Also, though these mission trips are not presently in the church budget, several members have contributed individually to them and I am so grateful. If you would like to contribute towards future trips just earmark a check to “Cooper missions” and give it to Chuck Tourney. It would probably not be possible to do these mission works without your help.
