Graham and Carrie are back

Graham and Carrie Frank are back in Omaha! They are honorary members of the Coram Deo Launch Team, having prayed for its inception from halfway across the world. They've spent the last year using their gifts as an engineer and a nurse to serve some of the world's poor and needy people in northern India. Plus, they got to do some cool stuff like trek the Himalayas and wake up every morning looking at 26,000 foot mountain peaks.

They're taking their time to go through the delicate process of cultural readjustment. What they have seen and experienced in the last year makes the things we think are really important pale in comparison. When you've seen a little orphan baby die in your arms, when you've spent every day helping people who don't even have the most basic of health needs, when you've lived without a phone for a year... all the stuff we value seems pretty trite. I look forward to how Graham and Carrie will challenge us when it comes to simplicity, true community, and following Christ.

So give them space to readjust... but when you see them, welcome them warmly. We are blessed to have them in our lives.
