Sunday from Wade

Today started early with the blessing of homemade french toast and GLORIOUS coffee (by the way, Bart says in August he is planting the first crop of ATC coffee that will be available for purchase in the summer of 2011; we're taking orders now!). The team was split into two groups again; one rotating duties in the running of the dental clinic, which was a non stop 7 hour task. About 30 minutes after we arrived, a yellow dog bus pulled up filled to the brim with eager patients; some of our people have a future in the medical field! The other team tackled the feat of assembling a VBS program with several of our guys challenging the locals to a soccer match; our men only proved themselves as worthy competitors when they elected to play shirtless; frightening the challengers with their pale, hairy torsos as well as causing all the spectators to vomit a little in their mouths.

On a more serious and less disturbing note, the prayer ministry has been a thing of awe inspiring beauty! Our folks have fervently prayed over patients, families and occasionally malfunctioning equipment and received immediate and specific answers from our Father God! We finished our day with a relaxing hour exploring a waterfall that we had to cross two majestic rivers and a bamboo forest to find...tough life this mission work!

Tomorrow morning we head south to catch our boat to travel south and take our dental, VBS and prayer ministry to never before reached people on two isolated islands that we have been seeking God's sovereignty on behalf of. Pray with us that our Father will reveal his Kingdom to his people that he has not forgotten, and that he loves so much that he is sending a group of rag tag missionaries to greet them with mosquito nets in hand. Thanks so much for your prayers, please continue to pray for Christ's anointing, discernment and provision. --Wade

More to come.
