Monday

We had another day that did not go as we expected. We planned on preparing for literature distribution in the morning and then doing distribution in the afternoon. Matt planned on going to the Hardware store in the late morning and working the afternoon at the center. However, our hosts are dog-sitting a friends dog and it got into the Rat poison and so needed an emergency trip to the Vet. SO... We spent all day preparing for literature distribution... That involves placing a sticker and 3 bookmarks into copies of Arabic/French New Testaments and then putting them together with a letter into a mailer. Matt did make a big trip to the HW store and had great fun looking around a French Hardware store. Tomorrow, the PLAN is to do distribution in the morning and the afternoon. For construction, tomorrow Matt and one other will be working on starting the shelf units and working on plumbing issues. We will see what comes.

Thank you for your prayers! The team is doing great and has fully absorbed our itinerant students from Liberty into the team. In addition, the rest of our luggage arrived today at noon. No real indication where it was hiding. Now we begin the process of filing claims with the airlines. Another item that wasn't originally on our agenda.

Several of us are praying for New Life church in our early morning prayer time, so we are helping to cover the 24 hour prayer calendar. We pray particularly for revival and that God would awaken a new sense of the urgency of prayer in our church.

Praise God for all the answered prayers!

You are going to have to become known as the "Gumby" or "Mrs. Incredible" team with all of your flexibility to unexpected turns!

Your high spirits conveyed in the blog reports fill my heart with gratitude to the Lord for selecting each of you to serve on this mission.

Praises to God that you finally got all of your luggage. We've been praying for you.

What a treat that your new friends will get to enjoy some of Matt's handywork! I know he does a great job. :)

Thanks for keeping us at home informed about your trip. I enjoy reading what's going on and being able to encourage you. We're all so proud of you and the work that you are doing. Rest assured that our Heavenly Father is too! Bless you all and the work that you're doing in His name.
