Marathons

Verlin seems to be in a marathon of meetings in person and on Skype since returning to Cote d’Ivoire.

After a day of passing information to others in Abengourou during scheduled vehicle maintenance, during a stop in route to Bondoukou, a Muslim friend rejoiced that some of Verlin’s nutritional advice seems to have brought him total healing without a surgery (Verlin told him to have a scan done). In Bondoukou, there was the very good news that during our short absence, three people dedicated their lives to Jesus during three Discovery Bible Studies near our home in Bondoukou! (Other location results remain unknown to us still). Thursday, he met with the pictured group after being with three different pastors in Bondoukou in consecutive two-hour conversations to further schedule times to complete or begin training their congregations. These leaders now nurse the sense that it is possible to reach into every neighborhood, sharing the Gospel in household Bible studies. Next week, Verlin and Emmanuel, president of the Ivorian CHE network, travel to central Cote d’Ivoire for a full week of planning the Million Village Challenge (MVC) conference and meeting with people starting Community Health Evangelism (CHE) ministries.

Debbie experienced a different kind of meeting marathon as she planned for her knee replacement surgery on Thursday, June 14. She took a two-hour class to prepare for surgery, completed the pre-op testing, visited her dermatologist, chose and scheduled appointments for her physical therapy post-op, purchased suggested supplies, began preparing one house to address hygiene and safety issues after surgery, and coordinated with numerous people who will tag-team to take care of her when she returns home. The icing on the cake was the joy of having Grandma-time with our granddaughter Chelsea all week long.

We think Debbie will probably not be in mental or physical shape to write an update next weekend. It is possible that Verlin will not have Internet access for several days during travel as well. So if you do not hear from us next Saturday, it means we did not get something put together by Wednesday that would be as ‘fresh’ as this share anyway. We appreciate your faithfulness in prayer even if our contact lapses by lack of early preparation.

Prayer & Praise:

• Praise the Lord with us for the three souls saved in Discovery Studies closest to us during the month Verlin was in the States! Pray for others unknown and all to grow in the Lord.
• Ask for a good result to Debbie’s complete knee replacement this coming Thursday morning at St. Thomas Midtown Hospital. Pray for good coordination among the many family and friends who will help with her aftercare and physical therapy visits.
• Pray for the week-long trip Verlin will take this week to central Cote d’Ivoire to continue planning the Million Village Challenge conference and visit some ministering in CHE.

Your partners in the Gospel,
Verlin and Debbie
