Simple Gifts

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits...Psalm 103:1-2


Will you rejoice with us this week for some unrelated answers to prayer? We are deeply grateful for the Lord protecting friends, and for simple gifts that beautify our lives and help us prepare for upcoming ministry.
  •  Cement drains are just installed on the road right in front of our house. Within months our street may be paved, greatly reducing our red dust and correcting a serious drainage problem in the neighborhood.
  • Rain season is in full swing now, so city water flows to our neighborhood at least every other day, instead of once a week. Copying the mechanics of some missionary friends, Verlin figured out a way to pump water-on-demand from our cistern to the house, and recently replaced a defective part. He has one happy wife who can do laundry any time!
  • Rain season also means plentiful fruit and vegetables at market. You really haven't enjoyed pineapple, mango, or avocado until you eat them fresh in the tropics. Come see?
  • Being home for a few days in a row is a pleasure. This week Debbie and Koffi prepared our second bedroom to receive guests. They also set up a prophet's chamber with an adjoining CHE Planning and Prayer Room in the outside building, and sorted and cleared one storage area.
  • Verlin made progress in connecting with trainers for the fall CHE training at the university. Four training of trainers are planned to happen simultaneously, requiring even more preparation time.
  • Debbie's ultrasound and scan early this week were clear of serious problems. There is a hernia (or two) causing constant pain that will require action.

Prayer Point :

Recently the Lord preserved the lives of the Nassian FWB Church's pastor and family. Pastor Edmond and family were traveling on public transport when armed bandits stopped the vehicle, stole the passengers' money, and shot several people. One person died and others were wounded. This kind of hold-up is not unusual in rural areas. Pray for all those involved, especially the traumatized children. One mother reported that her child is constantly afraid the bandits are coming again.

Your partners in the Gospel,
