Recap of Day 1 in the village

I was unable to blog yesterday. Not enough time in the morning and no electric at night. There is a generator here at Rainbow, but it is not big enough to power everything, and the computer is not connected to it.

Day 1 was awesome! We had a share time last night. Troy announced that the one hour allotted for share time on Sunday night, Aug 2 at Piner was simply not going to be enough. God is doing so much in this group already.

Hundreds of kids came to the 2 Bible Schools we did yesterday. The play dough lasted in order for each child to get a small piece. Today we have paper bag puppets, and somehow God is going to have to multiple them in order for them to be enough.

We will have to check everyone's suitcase before leaving Rainbow. I have a feeling some of the team members will try to smuggle some of the kids home with them.

Pray for the Gospel to be received in the villages today. My team especially had very few adults show up for the preaching time yesterday. Hundreds of kids were there, but few adults. They were receptive as we visited in the village, but did not come to the meeting.

The weather has been exceptionally cool. The people often do not want to move around much when it is cold. But for most of us it is comfortable.

John and Lea Anne are treating us wonderfully. The food is great, the beds are great, the showers are great. God is so good to us.

Pray for the families at home. It seems to be harder on them than on us here.
