Anyone trying to track Verlin's location through his cell phone coordinates late this week would have been sadly misled. On Wednesday, while continuing to mark fields for the CHE agricultural project, he lost his phone in the thick brush. We praise God for lock functions that protect private information and preserve the Orange Money deposits that we use to pay bills! He has already recuperated the funds on a new cell phone, and it looks like most of his contacts are retrievable thanks to Google (if only the Internet would stay on long enough to verify!). He also made some progress preparing materials for the university CHE training and for promoting the Million Village Challenge meeting in September. We both spent hours giving private counsel, as well as Verlin preaching, Debbie leading Bible study, and hosting the weekly coaching meeting.
The coordinates of several hundred people will converge here in Bondoukou on August 21-26 for the Ivorian Free Will Baptist (FWB) National Assembly. Debbie and Koffi spent days this week cleaning more storage areas and arranging belongings so that we will have extra space to offer hospitality. Lodging is always an issue during convention week.
Prayer and Praise:
- One ministry outreach has encountered a conflict influenced by the village's multi-ethnic population. We and believers involved have fasted and prayed, trusting the Lord to provide a righteous solution. Ask Him for exceptional wisdom, boldness in confrontation, and a lasting resolution to the problem.
- Pray for the two FWB churches in Bondoukou that are responsible to lead the local preparations for the National Convention in August. It is much work for a small group of people. Pray for special speaker Robert Bryan (a FWB missionary in France) as he prepares the sermons.
Your partners in the Gospel,
Verlin and Debbie
