Neighbours, Sand, and Rivers

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for your continued prayer. Exciting news this week is that we finished filling in the foundation for our new building - hooray!!! And it has rained enough to irrigate it which saves us a lot of work with buckets!

We've also had new opportunities to reach out to our neighbours, some have been going through difficult times and they've appreciated our care and concern.

We are excited about the vision God is giving us for this place -especially to build a community recreation centre at the front of our property. More on this later...

I have an opportunity to visit some communities in the Northwest interior region with a Guyanese pastor and a small group. I'm slightly nervous about the trip 'cause I've heard it can be crazy but I am way looking forward to the adventure and making connections for future ministry opportunities. We leave this Wednesday (traveling in a series of small boats up the Essequibo and its tributaries) and are due to return on the 28th. Please pray for a safe journey and no malaria!

Please also pray for Jamaica, in the path of Hurricane Dean.

God bless you,
eM
