120 degrees!

Only a little news from Paraguay has trickled in this week, where my daughter Katie's on a mission trip. The team made it safely to Chupapou on Tuesday, where they will minister for two weeks. It was about a 7-hour drive and probably not the best of roads. Their accomodations are "better than expected," which Katie thought would be mats on the floor of a building, so not sure about that.

Yesterday we received word that the temperature had reached 120 degrees. And also something about lice ... Wow. It takes intentional prayer to focus on the team's ministry rather than the challenging living conditions. I pray that their VBS with the children is well-received and goes smoothly. That they'll have the strength to carry out the physical tasks before them. That the team is connecting with the Aché and communicating the love of God effectively. And that everyone stays healthy and hydrated!

If you'd like to keep up with the team's updates, as well as the other Lighthouse teams, go to this site.

... how can they hear without someone preaching to them? John 10:14

Also ... happy birthday today to a special friend, Pat Power. Love you, Pat!
