	The USA Sprint - The Growing International Abide Dialogue December 15, 2009 through February 12, 2010 flew by as Pam and I spent 60 packed days in the USA. God provided moment by moment as we made it our goal to deliver Jesus’ love and the message of Jesus; perfect presence in every believer. We also received Jesus’ love from His branches everywhere we went! God takes care of all His love deliverers.
	Back in 2005 when Abide International first began as a brand new ministry in Brazil, Pam and I decided that the traditional one year furlough in the USA was not going to work for us to effectively create and sustain an international dialog about abiding in Christ as true discipleship. Our plan was to be in the USA during Brazil’s summer months when the Brazil dialog gets put on hold by summer schedules. The plan has worked and we are learning to leverage our time in the USA to the max between Dec. and Feb. This year’s 60 day “USA Abide sprint” included Miami, FL, Pembroke Pines, FL, Orlando, FL, Houston, TX, Memphis,TN, Cleveland, TN, Morristown, TN, Lynchburg, VA, Martinsville, VA and Atlanta, GA.
	We were privileged to preach, counsel, conduct marriage seminars and abide seminars. We even had the joy of welcoming our ninth grandchild into the world. Little Harley Byron Stevens made January 26th a special day for all of us. Perhaps the most significant thing about this trip was the very clear increase in people’s interest in hearing more about what it means to Abide in Christ. In every city where we ministered we sensed a new openness to see Jesus as the true source of life and satisfaction that He is for every believer.
	Pam and I are amazed at the hospitality we received while on this two month trip. We experienced what Jesus said we would experience. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. Matthew 19:29
	We have many homes in many places. We are so rich in friendships and in support of friends and churches. We are blessed a hundredfold. Enjoy a few pictures of the “USA Abide Sprint.” It was worth every one of the 5,000 miles we put on rental cars! Abiding In Him, Bud and Pam McCord
