Got to love...
Got to love the jokester who said devotions were at 5 a.m.. He's going to have to lead a devotion in forgiveness.
Great VBS
Great VBS finale. No rain. Great time. Fireworks finale. All glory to God. Travels begin 6 pm your time. Please keep us in prayer. Arrive home Thursday afternoon.

Final day of VBS
Final day of VBS today. Please pray the rain holds off so the kids can play activities outside. Thank you all for all your prayers. It's the glue that holds us together.
Journey to town
Journey to town to convert money. Half day event, then VBS in the pouring rain. Hilarious! Linda always in step with the Holy Spirit. So versatile. VBS carried out. Alter call many accepted Christ.
Sunday, October 17, 2010
Good Morning
We got much needed recovery. Some upset tummies, please pray. Day 3 VBS, awesome. Rain came early so got to have VBS outside. Kid's delight. Wish I could send photos. PS, my roommate wont' let me turn off the light at night because of the roaches. Just thinking how entertaining the short term missionary life can be.

Rain again
Rain again and VBS still carried on. Flat tire delayed our trip home but all in a day of adventure on the missionary field.
Mango juice
Mango juice...the choice of hospitality. Several a day. Went to praise and worship service this morning. Off to VBS now for the evening.

VBS
VBS yesterday about 300 kids came in the rain. Great volunteers came to help. They tell us much more today because no rain. The work the Lord accomplishes in little time still amazes me! His wonders never cease. Church today and then VBS. Slept well. Chanting didn't start until 5:45. I always have to start singing You are God of this City. All are well.

Glory to God
Glory to God. My heart strings are yanked to see the poverty in the villages! I almost feel ashamed. F. Chan said in his book we shouldn't ask God why there is starvation; He should be asking us why there is starvation. Festival time here till we leave. Pray we can gets some rest as it is so noisy and the bed bugs are biting.
Cracking up
Cracking up as we sit in our new accommodations in Anacopoli. I was thinking that at least we would have air, then the air went out...LOL. Typical missionary accommodations. Tonight, we have a church service to speak at then tomorrow more church services and VBS. Only sheer exhaustion or the answer to prayer will cause it.

Teacher training complete
Teacher training complete. Many shared how excited they are to implement their new sills. Many asked us to lay hands and pray. Their reverence to God was an example to be followed. Team split in the evening. Half to pack up for tomorrow's move to a different town and do church visits. Half to a church service tonight. The people are so gracious and hospitable. We are so unworthy. If just doesn't seem right that we head out to served and end up getting served ourselves. Saying no doesn't work.
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Day Two Complete
Day two complete. Many power outages but the show still had to go on. Can I just share how odd it is to have cows laying in the road and everywhere. Crazy!
Training Going Well
Training is going well. Teachers outside on benches looking through windows to receive training. Men are not allowed inside (cultural thing). They are outside looking in too. Power has been on and off. We'll see what tonight has in store. Bringing a headlight for Becky, Pray for Becky's voice to not disappear. All are healthy.

The men went in search
The men went in search of supplies after lunch And spent the whole day in the car. Apparently time is lost in translation and 5 minutes equates to much longer.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
Today we ventured into town
Today we ventured into town again to buy supplies. Interesting reactions from the locals. Went to church and was humbled by the hospitality. Performance by the kids. Great teaching by Jerry. Tomorrow starts 3 days of teacher training. Everyone is well and ready to serve! Praise Him.
Saturday, October 9, 2010
We are good. Some flight
We are good. Some flight delays. All are tired from very little sleep. Got settled in. Church tomorrow.
Thursday, October 7, 2010
How many flights?
4 yep. We thought we didn't have to change flights in DC but we were incorrect. All in a days fun. Its 6:50 CA time and 9:50 here. Next stop Dubai in a lot of hours! 13 I think.

sunday
Spread out over 3 churches and taught Sunday school and shared testimonies.
The heavens opened up today to a terential down pour. I wore a sweat
shirt today in Africa.
The roads are so muddy and cratered so I hope the vans can get out.
Construction guys to construction site....I think they will have to
walk in. We may go to a school tomorrow to teach. We'll see if the
weather co operates.
Prayers for Gods direction for Monday and tuesday due to us having to
reajust our training schedule.

Finished A 5 day VBS in 3 days. Just rolling with the punches and
delivering God's word. It was awesome! They tried to reduce kids to
300 and God wanted double; over 600 attended. Glory to God!
We were asked to attend a funeral and James shared a message. We were
able to pray over the family.
We went to see both houses that were built. I can't tell you how
humbled I was to watch one woman wail and praise the Lord. The Lord
has worked mightily!!!

Day 3 of active work
Final day of teacher training today. Always a small wrench thrown in but all par for the course on the mission field. But as always flexibility was practiced and the message God desired went out. Jay's magic tricks were a hit. Pray that they take this new information and put it into practice.
Midwife finished up today. Mercy hospital donated supplies for the midwives and the received them today.
Evangelism door to door is quoted as 'amazing!". People are so open to accept Christ. God equips with the words and readied hearts.
More later on the construction.
VBS starts tomorrow so please pray the schools release for this event.

Finally
I'm back on line....yeah. Amazing to see the Lord at work. Sunday we split up to 3 different churches. Some shared testimonies and some shared the message for the day. It was amazing to witness the passionate worship and prayers.
Today we split up in 3 teams. 1 team fixed a house and made arrangements for an additioal home to be built by locals out of funds we we're able to raise. The materials for the house we're about 500 dollars. Tomorrow the access what the will do for the next house. There was a team that was blessed by door to door evangelizing and led some to Christ. The third team did teacher training. The numbers were not what was expected but I know more will come tomorrow! It was incredible to see their faces light up. It was fun to see the playful sides of the Pastors (several are attending).
Everyone is doing well. One construction cut but nothing a little duct tape can't fix!
Please continue to pray for super immunity as we are eating 1 meal in the village.
Please pray for my heart as it is so raw with emotion over those who don't eat often.
Also again that we are in the center of God's will and no one elses agendas.
Prayer against spiritual warfare.
Thank you for your prayers even when I couldn't communicate them!

First glitch
As all good mission trips go there has to be some type of glitch. We encounter glitch number one; it was a name on the flight itinerary different than the passport. Its all part of the airport ministry; there we are praying. We have a big God and He worked out the details as He always does. Its interesting watching the veterans nonchalant attitude. The work will go on. Until the next wireless connection....
