If you can come to one of these, go to this link, find the banquet you want to attend and follow the instructions for making a reservation. We’d love to see you!

These banquets are a great opportunity to learn more about what God is doing through the ministry of Bible translation. Admission and your meal are free. An offering is taken to cover expenses and raise funds for Bible translation projects.

These banquets are held all over the US. Is there a banquet in your community? Go to this link and click on your state to find more information about banquets near you!

We finished our last WA banquet tonight in Baldwin, NY. We’ve toured during these last three banquets with Sherm & Bernie Guyer (speakers) and Bill Richardson, banquet emcee and WA Northeast Area Director.

We decided to leave after the banquet in order to avoid New York City traffic. It got us back late, but the traffic was light the whole way. It’s been a very full month, and we have one more church service left to go this month.

Fog along the whole east coast delayed our flight from California more than three hours, but we finally made it back. We’ve had just enough time to unpack, do laundry, and repack for another trip. That’s right, we leave tomorrow. We have three banquets left–one in New Jersey and two in New York. We’re staying with Aileen’s (former co-worker from Orlando) family in Pennsylvania for a couple of nights. It’s close to our NJ banquet site. Then we’ll head out to Long Island for a few days.

Our experience traveling through the New York and Philadelphia area has taught us that Sundays and late, late at night are the only times you can drive through that area without loosing your mind. The traffic is so heavy!! We’ll be leaving tomorrow. It should be fun. We’ll have a little time to visit with Aileen while we’re staying with her, and we have one day off in between banquets in Long Island that we’re hoping to spend in New York City. Jeff hasn’t been there yet.

Here’s our schedule for our last three banquets, in case you were wondering:

• Nov 17: Clarion Hotel and Towers, 2055 Lincoln Hwy, Edison, NJ 08817
• Nov 18: Sheraton Long Island, 110 Vanderbilt Motor Pkwy, Smithtown, NY 11788
• Nov 20: Coral House on Milburn Lake, 70 Milburn Ave, Baldwin, NY 11510

These banquets start at 7:30pm. For reservations contact Bill Richardson: (800) 475-1062 or bill_richardson@wycliffe.org

We completed our WA banquet tour in California tonight in Ventura. The hotel where the banquet was held had a beach-front location. We got in just in time to enjoy the sunset.

Thanks for your prayers for these banquets!

In Wycliffe, you never know where you might run into someone again. In 2005, I was in Nairobi, Kenya for meetings. This picture is of our group at The Carnivore restaurant enjoying some crocodile, ostrich, and camel.

Well, Ed, who was at these meetings with me back in 2005, is the speaker at the rest of the WA banquets for which we will be participating in California. I hadn’t recognized his name, but the pieces came together tonight when we saw him at the banquet tonight.
