Nancy treasured every letter, every note. More often than not, it was a postcard, quickly scribbled in terrible handwriting she treasured. The pictures were of historical landmarks, scenic views, and quaint old villages from around the world.

Postcard: Spanish woman with dark eyes offering goods in a street market.
-Barcelona is wild, Mom! They really know how to have fun! Maybe I’ll bring home one of these for your daughter-in-law!

For nearly a month Nancy prayed that God would protect him and keep her precious son from the Enemy in all his important work. Most of all, she prayed he would come to know the Jesus she loved so much.

Postcard: A red sea of oriental poppies.
-In Beijing for a few weeks. Temples are awesome! More crowded than you’d ever believe.

The whole time he was in China, Nancy prayed against the Enemies hooks through religion and for all those her son would be helping. Most of all, she prayed that he would accept the love Christ wanted to shower on him.

Postcard: Purple sunset over rocky hills.
-Be in Turkey for a while. Partnering with some Christian outfit you probably finance yourself! Just kidding Mom…

Nancy prayed every night there was somebody in that Christian organization that saw a need in her son and would have some influence. Most of all, she prayed her son would know the Father.

Postcard: Crumbling ruins of pale stone overlooking a busy city beneath.
-These church types aren’t half bad! Great fun and they invited me to stay with them in Jerusalem on my next break. You’d like them!

Nancy thanked the Lord for His faithful servants, and prayed that her son would feel the tugging at his heart for a righteous lifestyle and loving community. Most of all, she prayed he would feel that tug from God.

Postcard: Night in an olive garden with an ancient city as a backdrop.
-Met Jesus today, Mom. Overwhelmed. More later.

Nancy got on her knees, weeping. Most of all, she praised Him.
