"Father, I don’t have the strength to go to the village tomorrow.” It was the middle of the night and I couldn’t sleep because my arms and legs were too weak and bruised from the previous day. Faced with the prospect of a 18 mile walk, two hours on a motorbike, preaching and being involved in discussions about the church's future I felt rather desperate. The next day I woke up and God gave me his strength. It was like he injected aesthetic into my feet so that I could walk with blisters, and even though I started the day with blisters they really didn’t get any worse. It was thrilling to see that the Church has grown with several new believers having come to Christ in the past few months.

 

We get people coming to our house each day. Miss I is the lass who came to Christ a few years ago. She is sharing her faith with many folk and last Sunday she brought two Karen girls around to our house. B and T are both nominal believers with problems. We have agreed to them coming around to our house to look at the Bible and pray once a week. Miss I will lead the group and we will help out depending on our availability.
