We are now in our last stop
in S Asia. It is hot! 107 today, and always over 100. We are
adjusting. The workshop went well in Sri Lanka with the men really
transformed by the Pathways study. Several mentioned how before their
training started 3 years ago, under their old preaching method their people
were not changing. Now as they preach through books and passages, their
people are starting to change. The situation in Sri Lanka is complicated and
tense. The politics, the terrorist threat and the cultural clashes are all
mixed in a mess. Where we were was quite normal except the Christians are
afraid to send their children to school because of the threats of attacks from
the Muslims. The Buddhists have attacked some mosques, with ensuing riots
in more rural areas. The Christian response has surprised everyone, one of
humility and grace. It has elevated Christianity for the first time in the
minds of many. God is at work in spite of man’s sin.
