June 21 - We lost two more workers today to malaria

The fourth wall of the church foundation is going up, it includes an inside storage room and office.

We lost two more workers today to malaria - a man and woman. The man planned on beginning his medication and continue working, however We had to tell the foreman to send him home to rest. Eliah, who we lost on Tuesday, has returned to work - thank you for your prayers. These are very desperate situations.

Part of the team did some home visits this afternoon. One man we prayed for has tuberculosis. A young boy named Peter has some kind of seizures.

I shared with a witch doctor selling medicine down the street from the hotel today. He claims to be a Christian just trying to help people. It is obvious by the chicken feathers, dead animals, and demonic statues there is more than natural medicines involved in what he is selling.

Please leave your comments they are encouraging to the team.

Blessings to all,

Brian

  2. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:57-58. Dear Heavenly Father, our Great Healer, Protector, and Provider, we praise You for the mighty work that You are doing in the building of Your church and in Your people. Please pour out Your Spirit on the team and those coming alongside to help keeping them healthy, strong and safe and establish the work of their hands! In the name of Jesus our LORD and Savior, amen!

  3. To God be the glory! may you all know that we are praying diligently daily that you may touch many lives through your tremendous works. What you all are doing is just amazing and I can't even imagine what you are all going through! as I did my devotion this morning I was in:
    2Timothy 4:2-5 Preach the word be prepared in season and out of season correct, rebuke and encourage with great patience and careful instruction. for the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth then turn aside to myths. But you keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

    Stay the course, you are there doing what God has called you to do!!!

    God bless you all! Becky
