Friday night lights!

I think that is a show in the states, right? Well, here it means that we now have lights in our new building and we can meet on Friday nights. ;o) We had our first meeting last night and we really enjoyed ourselves. I know it's not all about numbers, but it gives you more of a visual. We had 12 adults and 10 kids. 10 of the adults were couples we thought would come and then a mother and her daughter-in-law came. They have only attended our Monday night study once, so that was a pleasant suprise! Jerod is still doing the craft and Bible lesson with the kids. It didn't go so well his first night, but I think once they get used to the new setting, things will calm down. We studied what the Bible says about marriage. We had a lot of discussion about what it means to be a submissive wife and what it means to love your wife like Christ loved the church. That was a very interesting and entertaining conversation! You guys just don't know what you are missing! Do you know how many times I wish you were with me. I am always thinking, I can't wait to share this with my friends on the blog!

Anyway, things are going well. Virginia, who I mentioned in the last post, is still doing about the same. I fear she may linger here for awhile before He takes her home. A PRAISE is that the music at 6 am took a break on Thursday morning and then today it didn't start playing until 8:30 am so, I have gotten a few days of "sleeping in!"

I have a prayer request for some other missionary friends who are with another organization. They live in a village with an indigenous group also. They have done a great job entering into this village and making relationships among the people. This is a group of people who are very closed to having foreigners live among them, however, they have embraced this family. Until recently everything was going well and they had started a small study in the house of some believers in the village. People were coming to know Jesus as their Savior and you could see the hand of God moving in this village. However, a few people have seemed to be bothered by God's movement and have made threats that they are going to be brought in front of the local government in the village. Some are saying they want to have them thrown out of the village. (This has happened to foreigners who have lived there in the past) This family has peace that God has everything under control, but we would like to ask you to pray that His will is done! We are praying that they can continue to work among these people and that this village will soon see a movement of God's hand like never before! Thanks for praying!
