Time to get to work

Hi Folks,

Praise God for His service!

We are set to BEGIN construction on the school in Puerto Cabezas the day after tomorrow. This is due to several churches following their prayerful efforts, with financial support! We praise God for the churches in Florida, and Tennessee, and Pennsylvania that have "followed through" with their desire to help.

As we begin the work, we request that each of you send many prayerful thank yous to our Lord, Jesus Christ. We feel it is important that He receive the glory for His work.

As we begin the work, we do so with the recognition that much is still necessary to be accomplished. We haven't received ALL that will be necessary, and we are stepping out in Faith to His kingdom for the rest. Please hold us fast in your prayers that all will go well.

On another note:

I had the opportunity to visit a hotel recently, in the United States, which reminded me of how insulated we become once we attempt to emulate the life of Christ. This hotel was decidedly lower economic, if you know what I mean.

It has been quite some time since I have seen the "underbelly" of our great nation. I resided in that hotel for a week, and was amazed at the way the people living there conducted their daily lives. They were the poorest of the poor. The maintenance man, who was working only for his lodging, told me one day that the homeless in the area when they were "flush with money", would pay for a room there. So the hotel was a step up from homelessness, but not a large step. He then asked to borrow $10.00 from me, if you can imagine that. It really was an eye-opener. I seldom see our great nation in such a light. I know that it is the leading of the Holy Spirit which helps to guide people like that out of their state of living and into a more comfortable, or at least a more respected habituation, and I praise Him for this in even the least of our lives.

Daily I saw examples of people drowning in the despair which their sin had brought upon them. I feel it is important that we remember to pray for the unsaved in our nation, and our cities, and in our neighborhoods. Please pray, an make the effort to bring Christ into their lives. I know several of my good friends do this in their lives as a matter of faith, and I encourage each and every one of you to follow suit, with this kind of behavior. Prepare yourselves Spiritually before you jump off of that cliff though, there is danger. Gird yourself with prayer, and fasting my friends and then "leap"!

God bless you all!
