Below are the first comments I’ve received from Jerry regarding their trip…
Last Sunday afternoon we met a man, Andy, who has been a faithful follower of Jesus for years. We had a great time of conversation and prayer in the afternoon. I never cease to be amazed how our Common Denominator crosses cultural and socioeconomic boundaries.
We are planning to visit Andy in a village where he has had a positive influence for over four years. A fellow believer helped drill a well for water in his village a couple of years ago; Andy was his “co-worker.” While the well was dug, Andy would talk to and influence others for the Lord, our living water. The village received Andy very well and invited him to come back anytime. They even provided a house and fields to plant rice in during the rainy season. We will travel to this village Friday morning, stay for a few hours, perhaps work a little, meet some people, and deepen our relationship with Andy. With open eyes, grateful hearts, and willingness to be spent serving our worthy Lord, please pray for sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Might He have more than a Friday visit in mind? His will be done.

I also received these notes from Jimmy regarding their work on Kap & Chica’s home…
Today’s start was slow. We had a trouble shooting issue with one of the panel systems; it wasn’t regulating the power coming from the sun. We figured it out and we were off to the races.
We wired the girl’s room, playroom, and Kap and Chica’s room for DC. We also hooked up the refrigerator and freezer tonight. They will now have cold and frozen food.

Today at 3:00 – A man named Sog* came from the capital. He is twenty-two and wants to know English to better himself. He attends the English center in the capital but he was here in the swamp and wanted to go through his lesson with Kap.
We sat down on the mat and started. His lesson was on God’s Creation. I read the first three verses as he recorded my voice for him to learn English and God's creation. Kap and Michael read the other verses. Sog was very intrigued and intent on learning. His prayer is that God would give him wisdom; please pray for him.
He and I sat down for two hours and he asked me to ask him questions so he could answer in English. He is inquisitive and ready to learn – so much so that he wants to come back while we are here to talk with us.
I have not yet mentioned that his Grandfather and his uncle are the highest religious leaders here in the swamp. Please pray that the light will shine. Today was an awesome time.
