62 Days and Nothing!
We spoke with Faith a few days ago and there is still no word from the Teacher or the authorities.  Faith’s brother-in-law has died.  This is the father of 5 of the kids in her hostel. All of them will be journeying to the North to attend the funeral.  As in most Tai Dam funerals, they do a spirit ceremony the day of the burial, which involves offering items to the ancestral spirits.  The kids being Christians will miss this part of the funeral but will be there afterward.  All 5 of these kids are growing in their faith and will be a wonderful witness to God's love and sacrifice for these people.
