Home again

Hey, it is nice to be home and I must say my hard working wife has kept so much up to date that I do not feel nearly as behind as I feared I might be. "Perfect love cast out fear" Well, the African adventure is in the books for this year and we are back on the road for the next six weeks. It was nice to be in our home church this past week. As the body is going through a study on giving, I meditated on how much I have been given. Wow, I am so blessed and spoiled. As I thought about it I thought what a privilege to be in a position to give because of all I have been given. The one exception to that are these boys who want me to give them control of my daughters! Surely God did not mean that when He said unless a person give all that they have!!!!!!!!! Ha HA! No, even my children have been given back to the Lord and we trust Him. It is the one area I hang on to the most though, I must admit. I have included three contrasting pictures just to help you think. The first is of the beautiful Bogon villa that is blooming in Warmbaths, the second is of the 27 year old George who is dying of Aids in Fingerkraul, and the third is of the Orphans in Surtilong. This is the field where Jan and Erica Viljoen are having an impact with TSEASA, Warmbaths Baptist Church, and the Pastor training center. Keep them in your prayers and thoughts as they live in the middle of life and death each day. Hey, life is short and you have to live it! Next overseas stop Lahore Pakistan! You want to go?
