Hello Family and Friends
Linda and I are in transit to Memphis from West Africa
January 15th.
We had a small snag on the front end of our travel.
We had checked into the airport in Ouagadougou,Burkina Faso
And we're in the Air France Lounge (thanks to the sky miles)
Chilling with about 45minutes till boarding.
Linda looked up at the TV and saw breaking news and there was fire and shooting at a building (we could not understand what they were saying (French).
But the building and lights display on the building looked very familiar. We passed it on our way to the airport. It was only 1km from the airport.
Terrorist attacked the hotel and restaurant - the airport canceled
All flights.
So here Linda and I - cannot speak or understand French. The airport became chaotic. I figured my best option was to go to the ticket counter and see if I could find the 3 broken English speaking agents (they were gone)
While standing there a guy from Washington DC (just turned and ask) do you speak any French - I replied no - he said just listen in as I talk to the agent.
"The Lord is always right on time man" - the agent did not have any info at the time - but gave a couple phone numbers to call.
Linda and I figured our best option to stay in the airport (secure place) and get back to the Air France Lounge (food, water, Fanta, couches) so we negotiated our way back to the Lounge.
The Lord worked it all out just right. We hope to get a flight out in the morning January 16.
Like Bro Herb Hodges says (the man that has discipled me for 27 yrs)
"Just another way to have a day"
Thank you for your prayers
The Holy Spirit Illuminated hearts and opened eyes to Jesus "Great Commission" with many making the statement "I see"
The medical team attended many patients from the school and the near by village.
We taught on the importance of the men loving their wives (Ephesians 5:25) - we taught them how to rub them feet and crack them toes and encourage them with tender words - the wives loved it - many said it was the first time they experienced that display of tenderness from their husband "ever"
The ladies really appreciated having their sessions taught by ladies (Linda Campbell,Malinda McIntire,Amanda Farmer.
Prayer needs:1. The trainees will continue to deepen their understanding of what it means to make disciples
(By making disciples)
2. The couples navigating life together and growth together in a tough environment, hard work and raising kids
3. The men would continue to love and serve their wives
4. That Linda and I get home this week5. Linda and I have 14 International training locations on the schedule through April (February 2-April 6)
Need 10k for ground cost to complete the task
6. That we recover quickly from jet lag to roll again in 2 weeks
7. Teaching in Tuscaloosa Alabama - January 22-24.
1. Training leaders of a inner city youth ministry
2. Teaching Perspectives at Capstone Church (Jan.24)
Until next week.
Memorize a verse in an area you need strengthening and quote it to someone.
My verse
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (NLT)
