My least and most favourite things!

Sometimes in life you have to do things that you don’t like. It is the same thing here in guate as it is in Canada. I totally dislike working on vehicles but because I own one, it needs to be taken care of. So, from time to time I am in the shop with grease on my face and wrenches in hand.  Changing the oil, brakes, bearings, installing a new radiator - it always seems like something needs repairing.  But part of being on the mission field is being willing to wear many hats – and I have a wide variety, let me tell you!  But of all the things I do here, I have to say that crawling under the Pathfinder is my least favourite.

 

On the other hand, one of things I really enjoy is packing up the projection equipment and heading off to show the Jesus movie. When we were home last May we ordered a projection system from the U.S. and had it shipped down here in a container.  However, after the first showing,  I was unable to recharge the battery. So, you can imagine my frustration. The process to return something on warranty from here is a challenge, but Manny and Cindy were heading to the US, so I sent it with them. They were able to exchange it for a new one and last week, Manny handed me my new battery!  Now I am able to share the wonderful news of Jesus in the indigenous language of Q’ekchi’ through the medium of a movie!!  On Sunday I will present the movie in a Nazarene church in Chisec. I hope to work with the pastors of this area to take this movie into remote areas for the purposes of evangelism. The great thing is, it has its own power-pack, we can take it anywhere and are not dependent on electricity.  On the down side… I (or we) may have to sleep in some remote and primitive places as travelling at night is sometimes not an option.

Please pray that the hearts of the people will be open to receive the good news and that lives will be changed for His purposes and His kingdom.  Karren and I are blessed to be a part of all that is happening here and we count it a privilege to share this work with you.

1 Cor. 15:57-58 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory though our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
