The team just called from the town of Pastor Bart, preparing for the final leg into the villages. Being blessed with a mechanically-sound vehicle, they had a flat tire and it was being repaired while we spoke.  The team remains in good health and spirits are high, of course!
Thank you for continuing on this mission with Lawrence, Tim, Doug, and Bobby!
TRANSCRIPTION
Hello.  This is Lawrence from K-ba, Mali.
It’s about 2:30 in the afternoon here, about 8:30 in the morning Texas time on Friday.  We’re getting ready to drive down about 4 hours into the Yalunka villages to see our people for the first time on this trip.  We found out that some of them had problems with their crops coming [washed out by rains] so we’re going to bring extra food in so they can make it until the next agricultural season.  This will assist even some families who aren’t believers.  It will be a good testimony of God’s love to them.
Also, we’ve already gotten word of several who have come to Christ in the last few months and are awaiting baptism.  We are excited about that and to see them, and to see what God is going to do in the coming days.  Please continue to pray for us, especially for the next 5 to 6 days.  We are spending 6 nights among the Yalunka including tonight.  We are excited to see what God will do!
