He has done it again. God. After heavily armed bandits with AK 47 assault rifles hold up 2 local banks and get away with millions, God has done it again! In the most unprecedented way, the Guyanese police and army went after these guys with a vengeance it seemed.
After 4 days of pursuit through the very snake infested Canje swamps of the interior all the robbers were shot and killed including some with a criminal record an arm long. Several bags of money were recovered as well but not all of it.
Terri has described the feeling of the locals as “feeling the same as if terrorists were in the country.” So where is the honey from the belly of the lion?
One of our national pastors had begun a friendship with one of the managers of one bank whom he had led to Christ a short time before. The man has since been out to the pastor’s church with another employee and his wife as well. He is now affectionately considered the Bank’s Pastor. After this robbery by the "lions" the pastor was called on to lead the staff in prayer and sharing the Word. Psalm 23 comes alive at a time like this.
I praise God for the pastor and his fellow workers that Terri and I are working ‘behind the scenes’ with. Please keep Guyana in your prayers as elections are coming on Monday, the 28th.
We serve an awesome God with thanksgiving.

Hi Uncle Joe and Aunt Terri,
I decided to check out your blog today. :o) I hope the wedding house music has finally faded. A good Corentyne news update. God is always at work, doing a hundred things in every one thing that happens, most of which we never know about.
ps - check out my blogs - on Alyssa's Notebook I have pics of our VBS. :o)
