wednesday update

Hey everyone!  Talked to Randy today and thought I'd give you several of the little tidbits he told me about.  This a.m. the team washed the R.Gateway workers' feet, which was a really neat experience.  The medial clinic went well.  He saw around 100 patients and several on the team participated in helping out.  He said that he cannot imagine being a medical missionary there because there would NEVER be a shortage of people to see, 24/7.  One cool story was that as the patients were through seeing RB, he sent them to Jeff Fisher and J.Tom for prayer.  One lady was demon-possessed and was delivered!  Praise God!!  He agreed with his dad and almost didn't have words to describe the poverty.  Hundreds of people with nothing.  Hard to imagine here in the big USA where we get upset if we don't get exactly what we want when we want it (sorry, did that sound cynical?  Maybe, but it's true).  

   Here are his requests for the next few days.  They will visit a wildlife park tomorrow, but they will be on a bus for most of the day (I guess you can't exactly be hanging out on foot with the lions).  They will then drive all day on Friday back to the airport for their flight that leaves that p.m. around 10:00.  Bottom line?  It's a lot of traveling from here on out.  Pray for lots of grace and continued love and patience among team members!  He also desires to spend time as a team praying over and listening to the Lord for the Mighty Men - ask God to show them when that should be.  They are all happy, but really exhausted.  He also wanted us to pray that he will have some sweet father/son time with Josiah tomorrow.  He didn't see much of his son today, but Josiah said it had been a tough day (I think it's time for him to be with his mama!!).  He cannot say enough how much he feels the power of your prayers!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!
