Well, tomorrow we will wrap up a great week of spreading God's word. Today, however, has been just as much of a blessing as every other day. Our group studied with 19 people, conducting 20 lessons. We all have plenty more tomorrow. Some will be The Plan Of Salvation, while others more beginner lessons. The local church at Burnham Drive will be following up and watering the seeds we have planted.
Early tonight, we made our annual trip to the hospital to leave gifts of fruit, and juice, and tracts for every patient there. We prayed for many at bedside, and encouraged them. They were all extremely grateful for us visiting them. It really is a privilege for us to be able to spend a few minutes with every patient in the hospital ( about 65 patients this go around). I especially look forward to that trip every time I come to Guyana.
After the hospital visit, we made our way to the church building for our evening classes. As usual, it was a great evening. We had an attendance of 156 people. Not quite as high as I had expected, but good nonetheless. We may not reach the 200 that I hoped for at the beginning of the week, but I don't know if we could fit everybody in there any way. We would try however.
Continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers, that we will have a safe and productive rest of our mission trip. Also pray that we will have a safe, and timely, trip home. We have heard murmurings today that the Caribbean Airlines pilots are on strike. Maybe it will all be worked out before our plane is supposed to leave early Saturday morning.
'til next time...........
Thanks for posting this week, Mike. I've enjoyed reading your thoughts about the trip. We're praying for all of you--that your studies and classes will finish well and that you'll have a safe return trip. God's blessings on each of you . . .
