Today began with beautiful cool weather, about 18 degrees, slowly getting warmer. We split into two groups again, one group holding Bible school at Vanju Mare, the other going to Levezila to finish a concrete drainage project and paint the interior walls and trim.
The Bible school was once again more than expected, with 48 children showing up for the program this morning. The people working here in Vanju Mare didn't really even have space for so many on the small lot where the church sits, but they did a fine job of presenting the program regardless of such small problems. The plan to show a movie tomorrow night needed to be changed due to not being able to get a loudspeaker hooked up. No worries. It seems that so far, we have been led in the exact right direction on everything we attempt to accomplish from day to day.
The people who went to Levezila today poured concrete and have probably by this time finished the painting of the interior of the room to be used for church services. Plans are now not to attempt a service there this Sunday due to the large amount of work still needing to be done to the building, work which we don't have the time and resources to attempt. An exterior wall is cracked and subsiding, and will probably need to be completely rebuilt before the building is ready for use. Pray for the money and workers needed to complete this job to arrive in the near future, because Levezila has no evangelical influence whatsoever apart from this.
Thank you all for praying for us here, and please continue to pray, especially for the children's parents, that they would look at what we're doing with open eyes.
From Vanju Mare,

Kenny,
ReplyDeleteGlad to see everything's going well! We're praying for what you guys are doing over there. Maybe you could go soak in the local and national culture while you're there and go watch a game of your favorite sport, soccer! Keep up the good work!
