Greetings!
Just wanted to let you know that I arrived home safe and sound. Thanks for praying for both Jeanne and I as we were traveling the past few days. Jeanne was at the airport to meet me when I landed in Lincoln on Monday evening - she was a very welcome sight! We then spent the night in Lincoln and drove on home yesterday afternoon. We are so grateful the Lord has allowed us the privilege of serving in Indonesia and thank you for being a part of our team as we seek to reach across cultural boundaries to exand the reach of the gospel. I will write more when the dust settles.
Joyfully,
Ed and Jeanne Casteel

Greetings,
I want to thank you so much for your prayers for these past three weeks - especially for our 10 day trip into the Wana Tribe. It was truly a blessing to have helicopter service and be able to visit each of our Wana villages once again. We spent a number of days with our Wana church leadership going through the first three chapters of the book of James, and enjoyed staying up late into each evening visiting with our Wana friends.
This past week has been spent here in Jakarta as we have been involved in field leadership meetings. Tomorrow, May 10, I will be departing Jakarta and heading to Singapore with plans to leave Singapore Monday morning. I am looking forward to being home with Jeanne once again. We will appreciate your prayers for me in my long flight home and also for Jeanne as she will be traveling down to Lincoln, NE on Monday to meet me. I will check in again once I get on the other side of the Pacific!
