To The Nations

 O Lord, glorify Your Name among the nations.  Use us to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who never heard your Name.  One day, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that You are Lord--what a joy to see knees bowed and tongues in prayer to You this very day.  And double joy to see children worship You in a land where so many 'gods' compete for lordship in the hearts of men.  Lord of lords, King of kings, glorify Your Name among the nations.

Please pray for us in this intense, stifling heat.  One of the Team almost collapsed this morning; thank the Lord she recovered after wet towels were applied, and she rested most of the day plus drank doses of Pedialyte.  Please understand that the electricity and internet are not available most of the day, so no outside contact, no fans, no AC--and it feels as if there is no breathable air.  Even our bottled water is hotter than most tap water at home.  Thank the Lord we are able to survive the Bible School time in late morning/early afternoon.  After that, movement and activity is virtually impossible for us.  Just lie on our air mattresses and pray for electricity...

Yet the response of the children (and accompanying adults) is what keeps us going.  This is our purpose, and God's purpose.  His glory among the nations.
