Dear Praying Friends,

        The rainy season has started a little earlier this year. But that is just fine because it helps keep the temperatures down. That makes it more comfortable to preach both indoors and out. The last few weeks I have preached a revival in the village of Portsmouth and a crusade in Colihaut. There were 25 rededications at the revival and 4 saved at the crusade. We praise the Lord for the decisions that were made.
        We have a busy summer ahead with youth camp, rallies and two planned campus-wide outreaches at Ross Medical School. We ask that you pray for our efforts that souls would be saved through these activities.
        We also ask that you pray with us concerning Cindee's health. She has a condition called "cystocele". She needs to have surgery to repair the problem. We are due to take a furlough in September. We want to take a six month furlough, but will not be able to unless someone comes and takes our work for that time. If we can't take the furlough, then we will make plans for Cindee to have the surgery in the U.S. and then stay there for the recovery. We have been told that the recovery period for the surgery is about 6 weeks. Please pray with us that the Lord would send someone here to help.
        Thanks to all of you for your faithful support.

                             Because He Lives
