Thanks for the prayers, concern, encouragement and support.

Thank you everyone for all your prayers.  This is not the first time our lives have been saved because someone was praying for us back home.  We do not always know reasons behind the things that happen to us but we can always rest assured that what the devil means for bad, the Lord can use for good.

You have been such a blessing to us throughout this time.  You have blessed us and restored us and prayed for us.  You are showing the love of God in tangible ways through your help.  Please continue to keep us in your prayers as God heals us completely.  We still have aches and pains, strained muscles and I have a bit of infection that still needs to clear up.  I walk with a bit of a limp but, Praise God, I get around!.

We have wonderful friends here who are making such a difference.  Darrell and Donnia Alexander have been like parents in their care and love.  Charles and Xemima Dean have been such a help and such giving friends.  Don and Christie Latta were such a big help in dealing with bank and legal paperwork.  Everyone has shown such concern and all have expressed their desire to help in any way they can. 

Your messages of encouragement have made a difference, especially Charles Whatley who has experienced something very similar but even worse.  Our daughters have been wonderful.  I am so proud of them because not one of them has insisted that we return because of what happened.  They understand the importance of missions even during difficulties.

I want to leave you with one thought today.  WE ARE STILL HERE AND WE WILL CONTINUE TAKING TERRITORY FROM THE ENEMY.

We have not suffered as Paul suffered for Jesus nor have we suffered as Jesus suffered for us.

Please continue praying for us daily!

Love in Christ,

Lew
