The five kids are doing great. The team painted the inside of one our new homes that we built. The people were so excited to move in that they couldn't wait on the paint. This particular family where they painted had a 13 month old little girl and two school age boys. Of course our team was the "show" of the day in the village. They enjoyed making new friends and hearing everyone practicing their English

What a good week. Lots accomplished and it is just fun to see how the Lord works as He opens doors of ministry. Always chances to share of God's provision for His people.
A team of 11 arrived today from GA. What a blessing! There are two families with a total of 5 children (ages 14 to "almost" 9) and two ladies. One family we have known for a long time...Jim and Lora Hardin. They are as excited to be here as we are to have them. Jim came many years ago with our son before either of them were married. The supplies they brought overwhelmed us but the stories of how the Lord provided it all was a faith builder to them too.
Should be an exciting week.

We were in the US for MOT (Missionary Orientation Training) Feb 7-11th. Great group of new missionaries coming on board. There were 17 in the class....8 couples and one single young woman. This group will open up two new countries for Global. All these were young couples in their mid thirties. The Nicky and Kristie Runk..... who were here with us for 3 months went through MOT and now are ready to start their funding raising. Pray for them that the Lord will provide quickly. We are anxious for them to get on the field. Another couple from our home church in KY ...Michael and Katherine Grant.. who have been in the Philippines for 7 years decided to come with GO. They went through MOT last week. It is so exciting to see how in this economic downturn God is still calling people out to serve Him in countries around the world.
We brought in LOTS of parts for repairs.
We received a call as we were driving out of Owensboro on Monday. Chris said one of our men was turning into our driveway and a truck loaded with market ladies and their goods decided to pass him on the left as he was turning. The other truck broke in two pieces and four ladies were hurt. Two were treated and released from a local clinic. The other two went to Doctors without Boarders clinic near town...one had a broken leg and the other maybe a back injury. The chauffeur fled before anyone could get his name, etc. The judge said this made him at fault for the wreck. The next day he came back for his phone and Chris saw him at the truck. He called a policeman we know and he came to the scene. He called the judge and made an appointment for the man to come to his court today. We'll see what the outcome is???? David thinks a door, fender, tire, wheel and mirror will go a long way toward repairing the Dodge 1 ton. PTL! None of our 4 guys were hurt.
David and crew repaired the 100 KW generator and put it online this afternoon. This is a huge PTL!!!!

OOPS!!!!! How did I get this far behind? We've had people the last two weeks
Hallelujah the container that we loaded in Nashville in Nov. arrived on Friday before the WEAG team left on Saturday. YEAH!! we had plenty of hands to help us unload. Another answer to David's prayers...enough hands to unload and the generator arriving before the team arrived to install it.
Had a great team from Richmond,VA area. The guys were from four different churches. What a great team spirit they had. They were actually "guest housing" with us and working at a Haitian church in PAP however when they finished their work there they were so gracious to be hands for us. They painted the inside of one of our Haitian staff houses, painted one side of the galleria of the VQ and installed new commodes in the VQ and our house. Thanks Chris Burgess and team ...you guys sure lifted a load off of us.
On the same day the team arrived four others came from TN and IN. Tommy Scott and Gary Richardson and Paul and Joyce Scott came to help David install the new generators. LOTS of work to rewire the entire generator house. They had to take the two 40 KW generators outside and hook them up temporary to keep the compound going while they replaced them with 100 KW's. The 60KW's had to run also. Not easy to gut all the wiring and replace it and keep everything running. They needed lots of wisdom, discernment, long hours and hard work to accomplish this feat. David took the team of 11 to the airport at 6 am on Wed morning...returned to the compound to do more generator work and then Chris took the team of four and us to the airport to fly out. David and I are in MS doing MOT this week. Arrived last night. We have 17 new missionary candidates to train this week. PTL!!! God is still calling people out for His service.
