I gave my friend the Bible

After much prayer, I gave my friend the Bible. I went very well! We ended up talking for about an hour. He was very appreciative. The Bible was very impressed that I was able to get it in his native language. (You can find everything on Amazon.com!)

I must confess that I was worrying how it would go... I am a worrier. Afterwards, I was thinking: "That was easier than I thought. What was I worrying about?"

Remember to be a blessing to those around you today. God bless!

Prayer for a friend

Please be in prayer for a friend of mine who I have been praying for. He does not believe in God. I think I may have a chance to talk to him soon. I feel God wants me to give him a Bible. I have the Bible. Now, I am just waiting on God's timing...

What a privilege it is to get to share the Good News with others! Keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities that God will give you to share with others.

Back from Brazil!

Brazil was awesome! We made so many new friends, both American and Brazilian.
Jim from The Mission Society has already posted some pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/jimbobka. I hope to post some of ours soon. There is so much to tell about this trip. Can't type it all here now. Thanks for all the prayers! God is good!

Brazil trip

We are preparing for our trip to Brazil for INFORM. Please keep us in your prayers. We will be there for almost 3 weeks.

Back from Paraguay

Everyone made it back from Paraguay safely. The team shared their experiences and pictures at church. It was great!

Update from Paraguay

I received a short email from Amy this morning. She said that today the group working at the daycare will be dressing the children in the new outfits that we purchased for them. They pray for that child silently as they get each child dressed. She also said that part of the group would be painting the outside of the daycare where the flower beds are and putting in soil and planting today.

I have not heard an update on how the church building is going or how the medical clinic is going, but I am sure that it is going good. Amy said that they all line up to check their email every night, so they do not have much time to email much. I can hardly wait to hear how everything went Sunday. You will not want to miss that and the great pictures from the trip.

Please continue to lift of prayers for the team, the children and workers at the daycare, the people who come to the medical clinic, the people who come to the worship services, the Toba Indians, the people who will be a part of the church our team is building, and the country of Paraguay.

Paraguay Mission Trip 2009

Please keep Amy and Eli in your prayers for the next 2 weeks. They leave with our church on Thursday for a mission trip to Paraguay. They and the rest of the team will have a blessed time.
