To those who may feel anxious on our behalf.......
We are fine! Your prayers are holding us and God is covering us. Our area of the city is quiet, but we have heard the same things as you have. We are working at home.
Keep us in your prayers and this nation as well?
God will take us through this storm as He has through many storms in the past. It is the same God who protected us then, who will protect us now!
We have peace even in the middle of a storm.
What a great & loving God!
Glorify His great name with us!

I was reading this tonight (instead of sleeping!), and much of what was said was so close to home.......so I kept reading and not sleeping.....
'Missions is the same as being in a war. I know. I've fought in both and the similarities are striking. There is not much glorious about warfare. It may look exciting on TV or in the movies, but in the trenches it's a lot of hard work. And the enemy has ambushes everywhere. Often you can't tell the enemy from the friendly. And your friends get injured and killed. It hurts.
Missionaries who think they're going overseas to do a great work for Jesus amuse me. We merely participate in the work God is already doing. Of course, all our friends at home will tell us what a great and wonderful thing we're doing. Then WHAM! We come face-to-face overseas with all our inadequacies and weaknesses. We realize how much we're actually going to have to depend on God to see something accomplished"
.......so I guess I am not as weird as I thought ....... well perhaps that is taking it too far! However, I think I can live with it......so maybe now I can sleep?

more jobs for the adventure seekers among us....
You see how high this ladder is? The man using it was painting signs on our church.
Here is what was supporting it and providing.......... stability?

heroes of the faith.......
I had the privilege today, to talk to a man who recently turned to Jesus.
He is being persecuted severely!
His Bible was stolen and burned he was told he would be next, if he does not drop his new beliefs!
He is living under a very high level of stress, and has many needs to be met, security, job, food, dwelling place, and support....etc
Would you pray for him please?
Our God is able!
