Well this week I wanted to give you an update on the "big" meeting that was supposed to go down. We were supposed to have a big meeting with the people to decide whether or not if we were going to be able to stay on the island. The current mayor said it was out of his hands and in the hands of the people. Then he turned around and try to stir up the people. He compared us to the French when they try to take over Mexico....seriously. So even though we knew this guy wasn't playing with a full deck, sometimes anything can happen on the island. We were blessed enough to have the municipal president step in and tell the mayor that he was out of line and the meeting was illegal. This happened a day before the meeting. So in no time God made small what man had blown up to be so big. He is so good.
We want to thank everyone for your prayers, they were heard and felt. We know that the video and the news of this meeting has been spread all over. We were really surprised when we found out so many people knew about our situation. The island ministry is not out of the woods yet. They will have a more private meeting in the future with only the parties involved. This in itself is a miracle. Please continue to lift up the island church. They need indigenous leaders to rise up and lead the church, without that it will always continue to struggle. Keep them and us in your prayers.
We had hoped to give a video update, but we have been with out electricity for 3 days. That makes it hard to edit video :). Well we love you and thank God for you. We will have more updates to come!
