Congo Brazzaville - Part Deux
Praise the Lord! The journey was worth it and we're already seeing the hand of God at work. Upon our evening arrival, we were met by 150 soldiers and officers in full white uniforms, singing and praising God. You can imagine that we were overwhelmed and grateful to God for this warm welcome.
Today we journeyed to four different institutions to witness the work of God in the midst of minimal resources and maximum faith. Our first stop was to a medical clinic where hundreds are treated each day. Captain Nkounkou's brother works there and was thrilled to receive the microscopes that Celestin sent with us. Can someone get to Celestin to let him know?
The second stop was a blind school where miracles are taking place. It is the only one of it's kind in the country. The third stop was to a sewing and micro credit school. Training and a concrete future. The founder would be proud.
Last stop was to a school operated by the local corps. It is quite ambitious, but is meeting the academic needs of about 350 students.
At each location, we presented a gospel challenge in the certainty that His word never returns void. Thank you for your prayers. Tomorrow we are in Officers' Councils.

Sounds great!!!! Wish I were there.
Continuing to pray for your efforts. love..
Deuteronomy 19 (The Message)8When GOD, your God, enlarges your land, extending its borders as he solemnly promised your ancestors, by giving you the whole land he promised them 9because you are diligently living the way I'm commanding you today, namely, to love GOD, your God, and do what he tells you all your life; and when that happens, then add three more to these three cities.
Praying for you and Bill as you witness and carry forward God's word!
You are all terrific. Wait until you see how God has heard your prayers in Part Troix.
