Gracious, it’s been a long time since I’ve written. I apologize—the rain clouds are keeping the sun away, and I’ve been trying to use my allotment of solar power for this video I’m making for our TIMO team. I hope you’ll forgive me.
What’s been going on? Cath and I have been working on the nursery school a lot. And we’ve had a lot of help from this Lopit Bible student, John. He’s been so wonderful to us, and such an encouragement to me. He preached at church the other day—brought the Gospel full-force—and twelve men said they wanted to become (real) Christians. Pretty sweet! Then he came up to my house and we chatted for a while. It was wonderful to hear his heart for the spread of the Gospel—not just lipservice, but a real desire to see these mountains reached for Christ. He talked too about wanting to do discipleship and build up the people who become Christians. I’d say he’s basically every missionary’s dream, right? It’s too bad he’s not here year-round; he goes to school about 90km from here with another AIM missionary. But nonetheless I was encouraged, because you could tell this guy was really Spirit-filled and had taken ownership of the vision of evangelism and discipleship. It shows me, if nothing else, it’s possible here; that it can happen. I know, God can do anything. But it’s nice to be reminded in such a obvious way.
Anyway, the nursery school building is looking great. We’re nearly done painting! I’ll send pictures when I can!
