Staying Alive

Yesterday when Rick(mission director) and I landed in Altamera there was a large jet with its nose dug into the ground its landing gear had broken on  impact . It reminded me of how much staying alive is a God thing and how freeing it is to hold ones life with a open hand. Four days ago I was talking to Adolf a young Austrian  mine administrator who thought that God was a crutch for the weak. Just when we started taking about the power of God the plain started to bump around and he became quite afraid. I told him it was possible  that God had arranged for me to miss my flight and the turbulence just at the right moment to get his attention. Adolf was intrigued with the that an all powerful God would care about him specifically....... staying alive

SPEAKING PORTUGUESE

I spoke on perfect love cast our fear. However perfect fear paralyze the ability to love, with Rick interpreting. 90 % of the people who come to church are under the age of 20. Many of the Sunday school teacher band and worship leader are in the low teens. God is doing a great work in one of the toughest parts of the City of Maraba
