It's all connected... [Josh]

Here's a picture of one of the missions team members being attacked... :)


The Western world likes to think that the 3 distinct parts of the person are all independent, or can be independent. Mind over body that kind of thing. But in the eastern world, the physical, spiritual and mental aspects are all interconnected. If you are tired, it is natural that your emotions and mental facilities are affected. For me, the physical has been the most difficult. It's tiring for me as I end up staying up so that I can make sure that the kids are going to sleep and then waking them up in the morning...after a couple of days, it's a bit difficult to rise up, but I pray that God will continue to give me strength.

So many amazing things have been happening with people being saved and it's only the first week! With all the things that we are doing, I'm not sure how I am going to make it for the next 2 weeks...as I look at the amount of work that needs to be done (or I should say should be done to run smoothly) is so daunting and I find myself stressing out at night and at free moments, wondering how we can organize all the activities without having the kids going crazy all over the place.

We have a 24/7 prayer meeting that we thought would be a slower pace than what we have been doing (since it is just having a 24/7 prayer) and it should be fairly easy right? oh no...evidentally 24/7 prayer meeting means full band/big event for 24 hours...you just have to love the cultural miscommunication...So you can be praying for us! Remember how I talked about me being physically tired? yeah...
