What a trip! I just returned from a 10 day trip where I was able to speak 12 different times at two different missions conferences. It is good to be home for a couple of weeks. I have another missions conference to go to the middle of March at a new to NTM church. During my little down time I am working on the new house trying to get the painting done. Any of you crafty handy man types out that just can't pass up an opportunity to get a paint brush into your hands let me know. I can always use help. Pray also for wisdom as there are many things that seem to just take up so much time and at the end of the day I look back and ask, "what was accomplished?". This is an exciting time in the world, God's word is going forth and many are coming to Him despite the unrest. I have just recently heard where many Muslims are using the internet to privately search for Jesus and chat rooms are being set up where they can discuss Jesus without fear of being punished. This is a great thing. Keep praying that a wave of Holy Spirit power would flow over the world to see the last great harvest happen. Then we get to go home! Thank you always for your continued prayer and support, you are part of God's team! Don Woody
Hello again from Marueta. We are doing pretty well here, and I just wanted to update you again
on what is going on.We had our normal Church service here this morning,
where I taught on themeaning behind Communion, and other stuff. Afterwards,
we had a bit of time for anyone that wanted to share to get up and talk,
and I would like to share a little of what Tali had to say. He actually
shared for around 10 minutes, so this is just a small excerpt, but I
thought you all would appreciate it. He said, You all have seen people
that want to be rich, how they really work hard to make Manioc, how
they put time into buying and selling stuff, how they really work hard
to try to accumulate wealth. (At this point I was kind of wondering
where he was going with this) He then went on to say that in the same
way that they really seek after wealth and things, we should seek after
the things of God, to learn from his Word and so on, Spiritual Anyway, things are going pretty well here. We are getting ready to
go downriver to Porvenir again tomorrow, another Maco village where
we have been teaching since December. I will be doing some more foundational
teaching, and our Coworker Elvia will be going again to continue with
Literacy classes. We would appreciate prayer as we go and teach, that this would not
only be a time to teach the people in Porvenir, but that it would be
a way of helping the guys from here be better able to teach their own
people. Toward This week, I assigned a short portion of next weeks lesson to Timbi.
He will be studying that portion, and prepare to teach it to the rest
of the small group on Thursday as a practice, and then teach it on Tuesday
in Porvenir. So, we would appreciate prayer for him, as he studies and
prepares to teach it, and prayer for the rest of us that we would know
how best to help. Well, I think that is about all for now. Thanks much for praying. From: Bruce E Higham [mailto:bruce_higham@ntm.org] Happy Easter. We had a good meeting here in Marueta today, and I figured I would
share a little of it with you. Anyway, at Christmas time, several people from Wapuchi came here, to
see how the people here spend Christmas, and so on. This week also,
a family came from there wanting to see how we spend Easter. This family
was one of Tomorrow, we will be heading back to Porvenir again. This week, I will be doing the majority of the teaching, but Timbi will be teaching part of the lesson.
I am hopeful that sometime he and possibly Netico, another guy who
moved here from Wapuchi years ago, might go back to Wapuchi sometime
to teach the people from there. I also have a couple of other prayer requests for you. Ba'aliyu's wife Maria, (They are usually part of our team that goes to Porvenir), has had a problem with her foot for the last month or so. They have been out in town to get medical help since the beginning of March, and she is still having trouble. Also, Netico will be going downriver to see the doctor this week, as he has been having a lot of pain in his side. They would both appreciate prayer.
Hello, Please be in prayer for my sister and Brother-in-law Roxie and Dick Phillips. Yesterday Roxie found their son, my nephew, Scottie dead in his bed. Scott was 30, and has had several medical issues all his life. It is not known if what the cause of death was most likely a heart attack in his sleep. The viewing will be tomorrow night and funeral on Thursday. We will be leaving early tomorrow morning to Atlanta. Thank you for praying for the family and for traveling mercies at this time.
