All packed for a 16 hour trip!

Meat Market on Saturday.We got back from our trip yesterday, other than the flu all went well! Our three goals were to take musical instruments, Telma give Bible Studies and I help the staff of a local organization as they begin their walk with the Lord and survey this area for a possible move next year.
The Instruments we took will be used in a local Organization called Sheeps Fold. They take care of many poor children in the rural area of the town we visited. These instruments will be used for music classes and Bible Studies as well.
Telma was able to visit 12 small villages in 5 days and share the Gospel with groups of teens and women who hunger for hope and guidance in these distant communities ( some up to 30 miles on dirt roads).
I took care of the boys while also helping the staff of this organization we assist in planning for various projects and in sharing the Gospel.
As for the possible move to this area next year we feel that much could be done by the Salvation Express there. One more town is being considered but the purchase of a boat to assist the river bank population is a pivot point for it.
Anyways, thanks for your prayers!!!
