S-O-S!
The building has now been completed, with the exception of many touch up jobs to the paint and floors. Our next step is a dedication service! The date is May 12, Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. It is a busy time because the area around the building is more than a mess! We spent most of our time today, cleaning it up. Truck loads of paper, cardboard, scrap wood, cement, roofing tile and ceiling pieces were hauled out of here. Tomorrow BletJaw and I will take the motorbike out to all the villages to invite the people personally.The reason we are going ahead with this service right away is, number one: Time is short! Jesus is coming! If we wait until after the rainy season that is 4 1/2 months away. Some may die before than. Also we want to dedicate everything to God before any patients walk through the door. We know this is the day that the Lord prepared for us to do it because He has sped up the builders and made the way smooth for us in many ways.We need your prayers just now in a huge way! Just 6 more days until May 12! To us it seems that God is telling us that all of our work here the last 3 years has been preparatory for this day!! We have invited all the villages that we have worked in, approximately 10-12. Many of these people do not know God. On this day I will tell them about God, simply yet I know God will make it profound for them. I will interest them in the precious Bible and offer all who can read and want a Bible to come and we will write their name and village so we can bring it too them as soon as we can get them. Also if they cannot read, but would like an audio Bible we will try to get one for them as soon as possible!! Oh how my heart yearns for the power of God to speak to these people on this special day. They must know that there is Someone who loves them more than I do! Someone who worked miracles to bring this building to completion, just for them. Someone who wants to take them all home with Him forever. Pastor Phamor, our pastor and other pastors will be here. Two choirs from Sunshine Orchard will be here, (God willing), and there will be food for everyone!! Also the entire program will be videoed by Preston Meyer. There is much to do, we are quite busy.Oh please please pray earnestly for God's Holy Spirit to be poured out upon these people, drawing their hearts out after the living God! May 12!Thank you so much
