I just learned that the Vine medical team and the Joni and Friends wheelchair distribution team returned home safe and sound from their mission trip to Guatemala. Thanks be to God for a good trip.

Monday Update
No news is good news from the teams in Guatemala.
I’m trying to fight off some kind of respiratory malady that came on me last Friday.

Vine Medical & Joni and Friends Mission Trip
At 6:00AM this morning I delivered about 340 pounds of medical supplies to McGhee Tyson Airport to a group of eager missionaries. As I write this, Vine International’s eleven member medical team is going through the check-in process and are about to embark on the first leg of their mission trip to Guatemala. The team is headed by Vine’s founder, Woody Woodson, and our Medical Director, Dr. Bruce Allsop.
Vine’s medical team will be traveling and working with a wheelchair distribution team from the Knoxville chapter of Joni and Friends. While Joni and Friends sees to the needs of the handicapped, our medical team will see to the needs of the sick, and all will be sharing the loving Gospel of Christ.
Please pray for our combined teams as they work and travel around Guatemala. They will return home on Friday, May 9.
Thank you for your prayers and support.

Devil’s Triangle Motorcycle Rally
The rally went well, though the crowd was smaller than expected. Steam Shovel performed Friday and Saturday. We made a lot of mistakes, but no one seemed to notice. After the show we got a lot of positive feedback from the campers, the vendors, and even the other band that played after us.
The CMA held services on Sunday morning. By the time we got the band set up most of the rally goers had left. It began to rain just before we started the service, so most of those who were still there listened from their tents. I sang lead with the Inspiration Riders Band. “Spider” Tom played bass, Dick Anderson played guitar, and Bob Winter played drums. Lonnie Craig delivered a steering message and gave an invitation, which received no response.
On Saturday one of our Inspiration Riders, Wendell Connor, went off the road on one of the many hairpin turns. The following is from e-mails I received about Wendell.
Date: Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:41:31 “Hi, warriors. I just left St. Mary’s North about an hour ago. Our brother Wendell Conner had the unfortunate experience of going down hard on 116 this afternoon. He has a concussion, and three broken bones in his right hand and wrist. He also has a very deep gash in his right hand and several gashes in his right leg.”
Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 10:55:39 “I’ve already talked to Kim Conner this morning. Wendell was sent home last night around midnight. He’s very sore and in a lot of pain. Doris and I are taking lunch to them in a little while and I’ll have an additional update for you later this afternoon. Continue to remember them both in your prayers. Wendell was “blessed” to go off into a fresh vegetable garden where the soil was very soft.”
Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:33:26 “Wendell is very sore and in quite a bit of pain. He’s “obeying” Miss Kim well. He goes to KOC tomorrow for evaluation of the breaks in his right hand and wrist. His left hand, along with most of the rest of his body, is badly bruised and that makes holding anything difficult.”
Please pray for a speedy recover, and thank God that it was not more serious.
On a more personal not; I went home every night during the rally, and I had a blast carving the Devil’s Triangle on my Bonnie. I’m no daredevil by any stretch of the imagination, but I do love a winding country road.

Me and my Bonnie
I just wanted to share a picture of me taken during Daytona Bike Week. Click on it for a bigger image.
VINE INTERNATIONAL
Vine International will have a medical team leaving for Guatemala on May 1 (headed by Woody Woodson and Dr. Bruce Allsop) to work along side the Joni and Friends wheelchair distribution team. Please pray for them. It’s never too early to begin praying for their health, safety, and witness. I’ll remain home.
