The Jesus film is tonight. There is no power any where in Kaputa so we will bring a generator. There will probably be a large crowd. Melissa and I talked to a man today who didn't know about Jesus. He wanted to learn. We told him the gospel. He asked if even a man with black skin could be saved. He wanted to know if God created white and black equal. He was disappointed we weren't building a church he could go to learn more. It is hard to get them to understand the church is the people who are believers. The church then meets together to worship. They have many questions about heaven and the earth being destroyed. We have to keep taking them back to the cross. Noting else really matters does it?! Anyway, the man will be there tonight, and he wants to ask more questions before he becomes a Christian. Pray for him.
The Bates and Mr. Richard: God bless you! You have saved Bryan's life! He has eaten so many granola bars and almost all of the beef jerky. I don't know what we would have done with out the drink mixes! I have to admit it is getting hard to down them at this point. The bottles look so gross and the water gets so hot! When we get back we are only drinking from glasses with lots and lots of ice. Crushed ice! I'm drooling!!!
Love you all! I'll blog tomorrow, God willing.

Man, what a journey you guys are on! It is really incredile to be able to read your blog daily & keep up with what's going on. I guess technology is kind of cool after all. I'll probably become a computer guru now that I've taken this step. Hold on, maybe not! The kids are truly amazed by your obedience and willingness to serve God in a far away place like Africa. We can't wait to see your faces as you tell about your experiences. There's just something different about seeing someone's face when they share something they've experienced, especially something of this magnitude. We selfishly await your safe return to the states, but are comforted in knowing that you are right in the center of God's will. Figure out how to fix the generator because I may have to commit Jamie the next time she doesn't hear from you for more than a day. We pray for you regularly and for the salvation of those you encounter, so keep trudging forward. You guys are truly WARRIORS IN CHRIST! RLB
Hang in there Bryan, When you get home I'll make you all the jerky you want. You won't have enough room to store it. Bless you both for what you are doing. Take care, Richard
