Just a little over ten years ago, we were told that we would probably be living as folks did back a hundred years ago. All our money would be gone, water supplies and other utilities would be shut down, and all computers would crash. And now we are to believe that global warming is a threat. Tell that to the people in Arkansas and the Great Lakes area, Al.
Three teams in as many weeks does not leave much time for blogging. But they have been good weeks...many houses have been built, food and clothes have been handed out, medical needs have been seen to and the gospel has been presented to many.
I was privileged to have in my home a missionary couple, Mario and Amuy Munroy, and their two children, Kathrina and Josiah, for almost two weeks. They had sold practically everything they had except the clothes on their backs to go to the mission field in Spain. They were here at the request of a couple of the teams to work with them in the villages. It was very hard to see them go knowing that I will probably not see them again in this life.
It was also my privilege to work one day with the medical team last week as "Dr.'s assistant". That consisted of writing down the prescription for the medicine needed to treat a person. Each person was seen by a doctor, given a prescription, then had to go listen to the pastor for a few minutes before they received their medicine. We saw 307 people that day and out of that number, twelve made a profession of faith.
They say it is approaching springtime here, but I really don't know how they can tell, except it has been close to 80 degrees during the day instead of 70 to 75. Maybe it's because it is time to plant the corn again so it must be spring.
There is a tad of envy in me toward those who get to preach the Word. One of the teams asked me to give my testimony and bring the devotional one morning and it blessed me tremendously. I don't know how they perceived it, but my spirit was refreshed. Is there an opening for a preacher at FFBC?
