The End is Just the Beginning

Well, we "finished." The task set before us is complete. Jerry, Michael, and I, along with others here, have completed the lighting, wiring, power, and fans. The Sun powers it all. We have provided a haven of comfort from the heat of the day. Comfort visitors will enjoy as they talk about and find the Son. Kap, Chica, and the family will be able to rest in and enjoy their home now.

Tomorrow (Sunday) will be a good day. We will do some final cleaning and pick up a bit. But better yet, we will prayer walk through the completed house. Room by room, we will lift up the house to our Father.

Thank you to all who gave – gave of your time in prayer, things to bring, and financial gifts. Our group might be finished but this is just the beginning of things to come for this region of the swamp.

For example, Kap left this morning to bring Andy and his family back to the swamp from his village. While at the village, a motorcycle accident occurred. One man was badly injured; he was in and out of consciousness and had a broken ankle and leg.

They loaded him in the back of the truck along with Andy and his family. Kap drove the man thirty minutes back to the swamp. This is the second time in as many days that he has used his vehicle as an ambulance on this road. God uses us in every aspect of our lives.

While at the hospital, Kap tried to find out about the woman we brought in last night. They could not find her.

I also met with Sog today. Today we talked about the Ten Commandments. They are the same in the Koran. He follows these and is a good young man. Today I asked him – if he became a follower, what would happen to him, especially because of his family’s positions.

He said, “They would hate me.”

 I asked, “Do you hate me?”

He said, “No,” and called me his best friend.

I then talked to him and showed him the story of Nicodemus. I shared the hope. He thought it was good but he needs more time.

It takes around forty times for this people to hear the story before they see the light. He is to be at our place of worship tomorrow. Please pray that the Father touches his life and that he sees the way, the truth, and the life.

We will leave the village on Monday for the capital. We’ll spend time at the English center and see the town. Pray for Jerry as he heads to Joseph and pray for Michael and me as we head to you. I will present about the trip at church next week. I have many stories to tell.
