Heading off to the "bush"

We had a great time worshiping with the Burkinabe today in two different services.  Paul and Ben each preached in a different church.  I didn't mention it last night, but Ben was quite sick yesterday and recovered in time to preach.  Tom Talmon was prepared and on deck to preach if Ben hadn't rallied.  I am not making that up.

Tomorrow (Monday) we head out to a remote village about 4 hours away to visit a church in the Hounde region of Burkina and to celebrate the opening of a well.  We will once again have a late night dance party.  There will not be a lot of sleeping.  We will either be out under the stars overnight or under the roof of a small church building depending on the weather (it rained tonight).  Please pray for our travel to and from this village (taking tons of equipment and 25 people in two vans over some seriously bumpy roads), for the continued improving of our collective health (19 of 23 people have been down for at least a few hours due to a virus going around our team but things are currently looking up), for Austin as he shares his testimony, and for us to be encouraged and be an encouragement to our brothers and sisters in Christ.  The rustic nature of this trip will be a stretching experience for all of us.


Oh, and on the way out there, I hear that some of us will be sitting on a crocodile.

Thanks for going with us on this adventure through your prayers for us.

You should hear back from us on Tuesday night.
