It seems like we are running.
After our usual marathon trip from the US we dashed into Myanmar for a pre-conference. We
spent 24 hours on airplane seats and 8 hours in airports to spend three days in
Myanmar. But our time there was fruitful. What a delightful place and
people! The pastors were a bit reserved and it was difficult to fully
judge their responses but the leader was totally enthusiastic. What a
wonderful man he is. We set plans to return in January to initiate our
first workshop and discussed the possibility of soon expanding to other areas
of the country. We will see how well this goes and how soon we can
expand.
We are now in Bangkok for the
day awaiting our flight tomorrow morning at 1:20 am to Kenya. We will be
there for four full days of training and a graduation celebration. It has
been 11 years since we were first with this group and we expected to graduate
them 5 years ago but the Lord had other plans. We will be delighted to
celebrate this delayed recognition of achievement. We are dreading the
long flight in the middle of the night there and then the reverse on the way
back to Indonesia on Friday night. But the Lord sustains us when we are
weak.
