What a day it has been. Be sure to read the following two posts if you have not already done so. We just found out that we will finish up with our clinic at the Baptist Church of Light and Hope tomorrow (Saturday) and then attend worship service there Sunday morning. Then, we will go to Liberty Baptist Church to hold a clinic on Monday (all day) and Tuesday (half day). The church is only about ten minutes from our house, and houses are plentiful in the area. We are expected to be VERY busy. We have already run out of medications for some very common problems and are seeking to buy more drugs from local pharmacies to finish out our work.
The most interesting bit of inform
ation I (Kenny) received today is that I will be a driver for our team on these roads. I would say that the "style" of driving favors Malaysia big city driving when on the asphalt roads, and the other roads we travel are more like 4-wheeling it over very rough terrain. Please pray for me! I will be driving a Land Rover. We are losing four of our helpers for Saturday and Sunday, but our team has already adapted with a plan to take care of the vacancies.The people here are wonderful and so loving and appreciative of our work. We have been blessed with a wonderful church hosting us for our first clinic. The people are so helpful.
Thank you for your prayers and concerns. We also appreciate all the comments you have left on the blog.
Talk with you tomorrow.

I just had to post after seeing all those pictures and reading the updates! What an awesome experience you must be having. We here at home are still lifting you all up in prayer! ESPECIALLY tomorrow if Kenny is driving!!! Seriously, I pray that your week continues to be blessed and we can't wait to hear even more when you get home!!
ReplyDeleteHello again. You all still look like you are doing well. Praise God for the new converts!
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to bring the girl in the blue dress back with them. How beautiful!!
Kinnan, do you think you could bring that donkey (not the extremely pregnant one) back for MHS???? Just kidding! And the cows, how different they are from ours, but they look like sweet cows. Did any of them chase the photographer????
Although the living conditions look extremely deteriorated, the people look well fed and clothed. Is this the case? Does missions sponsor food and clothing donations as well?
I got an email from KTJ and things are going well.
Love you - Cindy Lou
Psalm 90 (New International Version)
ReplyDeletePsalm 90
BOOK IV : Psalms 90-106
A prayer of Moses the man of God.
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You turn men back to dust,
saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men."
4 For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
5 You sweep men away in the sleep of death;
they are like the new grass of the morning-
6 though in the morning it springs up new,
by evening it is dry and withered.
7 We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.
10 The length of our days is seventy years—
or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span [a] is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of your anger?
For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.
12 Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Relent, O LORD! How long will it be?
Have compassion on your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.
17 May the favor [b] of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 91 (New International Version)
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]
2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
