Charombo

For the last two days we have been working at a village called Charombo, which means a dangerous animal. It has been quite an adventure to work a clinic out in the open with a slight sand storm and herds of cows passing by:). The physical suffering of the Charombo people has been overwhelming; but even so it is striking that they were still joyful, friendly and thankful. Most everyone was dressed in rags, bare-foot and devastated by one sickness or another. They are pagan worshipers who are dying extremely quickly and going to spend eternity in fire that never quenches. They are in need of a Savior desperately. Please pray that God would open their eyes to the truth that salvation is only possible through our Lord and Savior Jesus. Praise the Lord for answered prayer already as we have had many opportunities to share Christ once again and pray with many patients. May God save many for the sake of His great mercy!

God bless you as you continue to minister. I have been praying for you as you are there. Sojourners are praying also. We'll keep praying as you work. Greet the Biedebachs for us also. Rose Ann Stire

Sand Storms and Cows... wow.

I'm glad you've had good opportunities to share the gospel; I'm sure that your actions will indelibly impress those people. We will continue to pray that your conviction over the truth of the gospel and desire to see them saved lasts longer and louder than the aid you’re providing them...

Sorry that I didn’t post earlier, but we’ve been very glad to know how to pray.
