Oxymorons

I am here in the bush of Africa, typing on my laptop, checking my text messages and even able to call anywhere in the world … so long as there is a satellite signal. The deaf here use their cell phone as a note pad to share their thoughts with you and we I have seen color TVs playing in huts. Gets you thinking as to where our society is going and how much influence the western world has upon the rest of the world. With that said, what has frustrated me most the last couple days is the inability to send an email on AOL. Unbelievable the battles that rage within us at times isn’t it?

19 additional team members have arrived today. There are 8 medical and dental students as well as a high school friend that have joined Doc and his assistant Dee. Doc gave everyone a bracelet and tract just before leaving the states. I commented to one of the students (Jake) as I showed him mine and asked him about it. He told me Doc had given them out but he didn’t have time to read the card yet… 25 hours of travel… :)

Please keep that crew in prayer and that we would be a light during the conference and they would meet the Lord first hand.

For His Glory

Jim

It amazes me how the western world has influenced other parts of the world. It is interesting to see where all people no matter where put their values. We are praying for you and your whole team to be kept safe but mainly that you are a light to God's glory to all that come in contact with. You are doing an awesome job!!!
