Focus and breeze

As I sit at the keyboard, sweating without moving, I pray for focus and for breeze. Some countries are more hospitable than others to work in.

Now, the kids outside are focused. They are trying to catch a tilapia (fish) in the drainage ditch in front of our house. They are focused and jumping up and down at the same time. I was hoping to catch that fish on my day off but it looks like they might get there first. Kids love it here although they have so little compared to cutting edge countries but then again they are not comparing.

One very young little kid a while back was nearly waist deep enjoying a relaxing bath in the middle of a large mud puddle in the road. Now that same road is as hard as concrete.

Some people here have to go to their neighbor's house to get a shower but that gives them an opportunity to visit too. So it's cool.

Right now, the ABC that we work under is having 3 evangelistic crusades at night and 3 Vacation Bible Schools with a team from PA. Terri sings regularly in the Crusade Choir and I sing "one and far" (not very often) with our church crusade choir. Several people may have trusted Christ to save them. This is the easy part. Now pray that follow-up will take place in each of the churches.

We are focused and working hard at creating effective discipleship here inspite of the heat. Pray that we will learn what God wants us too so that the Guyanese can realistically reach their own country by applying Biblical discipleship.

The next big distraction that we know of is a "Wedding House" two houses away--nearly 24 hour a day house rocking music for 2 days! We will get a chance to meet some more neighbors if we can stay awake long enough after the loss of sleep.

Until then.
