Schools Out for Summer!

Well, its not really summer, at least back in the States. However, it seems to always be summer here:) The temperatures are rising, the water is getting a little lower and the number of people in the village has dropped dramatically from school being out in the jungle. However, Monday school starts back and all the young fellas that were comin to the house to get in the Word are heading back in!!! Really excited about that.

As for the past few weeks, although things have been slow in the village, it has left lots of time open for more intentional time with the believers at the village of Pipa Konde. They just asked me recently to begin leading a Tuesday night Bible study with them. We started in the book of Acts and are gonna work our way through it until whenever it is that we may finish. This past
Tuesday was awesome! They seemed so eager to hear the Word, which is such a blessing.

With a slower pace in the village, Ive also had a lot more time to share on the Radio. I am now one story away from finishing the 40 Story Creation to Christ story set. After that is finished, Ill be praying as to where the Lord would have me start up next. Im thinking about doing a No Fear track with the people, since so many are bound and captive to it, r possibly starting up a book of the New Testament and working through that.

All in all, things have been going great. Our recent soccer tournament was a blast and the water is starting to finally get a little lower, which means its time to go fishing a lot more with the men. I cant even begin to count how many meals of fish Ive had in the past two weeks. It just doesn’t seem to get old thoughJ And it makes fishing a lot more intense when your dinner is depending on it.

Just wanted to pass along a quick note and let ya know how things are goin in the village.
A few things you can be praying about: 1) As always, for salvation among the people. 2) That the believers would grow stronger in their faith. 3) That the Bible study in my home would pick back up quickly once the guys that were coming return. 4) Ryan is leaving in less than three weeks. Please be praying He finish strong. And 5) Pray for our team as a whole. For direction, guidance and strength as we continue sharing the gospel among these beautiful people.

Thanks for all the prayers! God bless
