PicNics

A compliment not given is like a present put away. This saying is very true and we must be sure to tell folks around us how important they are to us before it is to late. People need to be encouraged even if what they are doing is their responsibility to be doing. Telma has been visiting women in the rural areas and giving Bibles studies along with a PicNic event for these women who suffer such hardships in the isolation of the wilderness. The results have been awesome and many lives are being impacted. These women leave the events renewed and with a sense that they are special. I have helped with transportation in these events and also with the Bible studies for the children that accompany their mothers so that the moms can have a break. Please pray that the word of the Gospel will grow in the hearts of these women who need God so much in their tough lives.


We are waiting for the irrigation equipment to arrive to start that project and are also working on a dry toilet bathroom desing for the areas where folks do not have any bathrooms other than the great outdoors.
