The Truth in Rainbows

The popular conception in the village is that you will see a rainbow in the sky if someone very important like a chief dies. Val asked the boys if they have ever seen this notion come true. None of them could think of a time that this truly happened, yet it is what everyone in the village is taught. She had them read the story of Noah and how the rainbow is God's promise that he will never flood the world again. (Genesis 9:13) The other day one of the boys noticed a rainbow and he mentioned God's promise. Val was pleased that he had remembered the bible lesson.

Thanks for your prayers

Hello everyone, Just talked to Val. She has been without electricity for the past two days. So, no internet and she has not been able to charge her phone. She had to use the chief's wife's phone. So, please pray for her. Sandra the chief's eldest daughter is still in need of prayer she has been hospitalized within the last two days. Also lift Pierre's daughter up in prayer as well. She asked that we pray for the entire village because this is a difficult time. Thank you all in advance.

A Man’s healing

In January Anna (our nurse) treated a man’s wounds from a motorcycle accident. He came to the construction site.  Val didn't immediately recognize him, when he approached her and said thank you to the missionaries and the nurses for treating his wound. He said that ever since Anna had cleaned his wound and given him instructions on how to care for it, he did not return to the hospital.  He followed Anna’s instruction and stayed off his feet, and now his wound is completely healed. He told Valerie hat  he is also a believer in Jesus Christ and apparently his son is the one that said he used to perform sacrifices, and visit sorcerers, but since he got baptized, he does not perform sacrifice or see sorcerers any more.
