Well we went to bed feeling totally drained after all of Tuesday’s activities and talks. The time with the deaf boys was encouraging. We also knew that apart from the Lord leading Billy to return to this village, none of us will probably be back. So, Wednesday morning we were up early. We weren’t moving very fast, but we were all ready to head out. After we packed our gear we walked around the village greeting everyone. Then we had breakfast, the remainder of the goat, with Chi and his family. There were few people in the courtyard this day. I guess the Teacher told everyone to stay away. After breakfast, we asked for the road. This is the polite way to leave. Your host will grant it and bless your journey. Chi asked if we could drive him to his daughter’s village on the other side of the river. Of course we did. It was another opportunity to talk to him about Jesus. It was a lot for him to think about. The good thing of having him with us; he was able to show us the road to the ferry boats. This was an area where the river was lower, so we had to drive into the river where it was shallow. That was fun. Once across the river, we stopped and visited Pastor Paul. He has a mission church and school in the area where the ferry runs. It was a good visit, and a great opportunity to encourage him and his family. Pastor Paul has had no formal seminary training. He is a man who was saved, studied the Bible, and now he teaches others. This has lead to him sending people into the surrounding villages to tell people about Jesus. This was a great opportunity for Billy and Brad to connect with him and the work. Please pray for Paul and the work along the River.
Peace.
