This has been a busy and hard week for us. Both of us have had an intestinal bug. First Debbie and then me. I am still not quite over it, but I thought I would get this blog off to keep you up to date on some prayer requests that are needed here. This past Sunday and went down to to participate in the IDP camp church. As I mentioned before, these people are displaced people who are malnourished and living in very poor condition. For the most part they have no means of support. Many of them do the Lord. Each week they hold their church service under a tree. Last Sunday it was raining, but that did not keep them from joyously coming out to worship the Lord for a service that went on for almost two hours. I wonder how many worshipers would do that in the U.S. They danced and sang to the Lord as only they can do here in Africa. I have included a link with a small video. I hope you can access it.

The sad thing was that one little 5 or 6 year old girl who sang in the childrens choir during the service was run over by a truck and killed that same day. Please pray for the grieving family. The funeral is to take place this Friday and the parents have no money to pay the bills for her burial.
The term will end in a few weeks and the students here become stressed and a little homesick to see their parents again. Pray that they will be able to concentrate on their school work and final exams. Most of them are involved in many activities beside their normal school work as you can see from the photo's above.
We continue covet your prayers for support as we try to prepare for being here for a second year beginning in July.
