(...continued) Motos, Water Towers, and Persecution

 (...continued)

    Oh, I nearly forgot.  A team from the Church of the Open Door recently came out.  They came to search out how they can partner with the ministries here.  Amidst their work (sorry for the many things that I'm leaving out), I hi-jacked one of their team members (Pete, though he was very willing) who is an expert in concrete construction to help the local mason (Duali) setup a water tower.  This had been on the medical dispensary's to-do list since I got here.  It's not yet finished, but Duali and his team are doing wonderfully with the guidance that Pete offered.  Thanks.

   It wasn’t long ago that I asked for prayer for Ali – a worker who has difficult choices to make as he wants to become a Christian, but his family is Muslim (as he is from the Fuhlani tribe).  I’ve been praying for discipleship among the team members who work with me as well.  I’ve been encouraged.  Bouba (another worker who is from the Fuhlani tribe) is a Christian, and whose father wants to force him to marry a Muslim girl.  I say that I’m encouraged because I believe God is giving Bouba an opportunity to face a difficult trial – and I think this is a great opportunity for discipleship as Ali will be watching.  If you think of it while you’re praying, I’m sure Bouba and Ali would appreciate you’re petitions to Our Father for strength and guidance.

(The internet has been weak for some reason - I'll do my best to post some pictures, but we'll see).
