					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Two years ago Phil, Jen, Faith, and Luke came to visit us for a month. They went home, prayed about it, talked to their church, family and friends, and started taking steps towards becoming full-time Long Term Cross Cultural Workers. LTCCWs. This week they arrived. It is amazing to me how God takes us on incredible journeys when we step out in faith.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Phil and Jen lived just down the road from Art and Cyndi, back in Ontario, Canada. David, the Rae&#8217;s oldest son, worked for Phil in construction for a season.</div>
<div></div>
<div> We celebrated their arrival by having a team lunch!</div>
