Declaring His Glory

Good Afternoon,

Another great day of service for the team. The construction work continues to go very well and a lot of progress has been made. When team one arrived on the first day, only the foundation was laid. By the 5th day, they had almost all the exterior walls & a large part of the interior walls up. Now both the exterior and interior walls are up to 10 feet hight. The walls are made of brick with cement mortar. Some of the team members are helping lay bricks but most of the team helpscarry bricks, large rocks for the foundation, or bring cement to the bricklayers.

The VBS team had a good day with the kids today. Several members of the team had the opportunity to share the evangecube with some kids and adults and had a great conversation with them for about 30 minutes. In the end, about 10-12 people prayed to accept Christ.

The locals are very open to the team and engaged in conversations with them. Tim said there's been a lot of talking with them and it's been a lot of fun for the team.

Tomorrow the Governor of the province is requiring that the nurses of the medical clinic receive training and our team will be able to participate in that. These are maternity nurses and our team will assist with the training but also have the opportunity to spend some personal time with the nurses and share Christ with them.

All in all, everything is going really well!

Prayer Requests:

- For strength and endurance to finish strong these next two days of work. The team is in good spirits, but tired.

- For continued team unity. As they become tired, Satan looks for ways to create a wedge between them. Pray for the Holy Spirit to work through them in how they interact with one another. The locals are watching and let's pray for them to be great examples of Christ's love.

- For the lost to have open hearts and receptive spirits to the Gospel.

- Continued prayer for our sick team member. He is feeling better and was able to rest this morning and join the team in the afternoon. Pray for the Lord to continue restoring his health and energy.

- Praise God for a GREAT day of serving the community. Praise Him for the provision of translators and for the open, receptive hearts of the people. Praise God for boldness and confidence of those who shared the Gospel today.

Thanks for your prayers!

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

Romans 10:14-15
