It feels weird to be home for two weeks, but I like it. I may even get something done. I spent several days last week with others working on finishing the church. We've been at this for months now. A deadline, however, lit a fire under us. Restoration International were scheduled to have Family Camp starting on Wednesday. Thank God we were ready about an hour before the group moved in. (That was close.) The church looks great--new front, new carpet, new windows, new paint job and new platform. Y'all come and worship with us. We'd love to have you.
I was talking to my wife this morning. As some of you know, a hydro-electric company is wanting to take her land in Africa to build a dam. The electricity generated will be for the mining industry nearby. She apparently will have no choice. They say they will give her another piece of property and rebuild her school. If I know anything about that sort of dealing, I can almost guarantee the buildings and the land will be subpar. This big matata is suppose to happen in 4 or 5 years.
Janet intents to go ahead with her plans as usual. We are praying for the Lord to intervene. If He doesn't an allows this to happen, Janet will strip all her buildings of everything she can carry away. She will accept the land and allow them to rebuild. Then she will give the school to the church and all the other stuff to Kibidula. At that point, she will be free to walk away. Now, having said that, do not go thinking that this is how this saga ends. She is warning the government that she will fight for her land. A lot can happen in four years. Keep praying.
Next week i am scheduled to fly to Brazil. Wish you all could come with me.
This is the church's new look.
