The Journy of Paul

Greetings once again from Ha Noi. The Lord has been good to us in many ways, blessing us with cooler weather, breezes, and rain. We have also been blessed with better health, since we are all recovering from a cold. It is such a blessing to be able to stand on my 3rd floor landing and to pray for this country, to walk into pagoda and pray for light to enter into the darkness. Our exchange student, who lives with us, has spoken to her brother giving him the message. He told her that he wanted to be baptized. Today we went to a park and climbed a mountain, yes in 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity we climbed, during this climb I had the opportunity to also share the message with another person, we call him Tex. This is the second occasion, and in the next few days, we will have another opportunity to further the discussion. Please pray for them. Our time is drawing to a close, next Wednesday, we will hold our closing ceremony having been moved up because the officials want to ta...

Well, this is a blessing, I get to blog twice in one day! I am sitting in a WiFi cafe across the street from the university that I am working at. The endless stream of motor bikes pour by, along with the constant beeping of horns. It is night time now, and the air is cool, and enjoyable. My friend Jason and I have just finished eating ice cream, and are now relaxing. God has been good to us these so many weeks. Not to longer ago I didn't even think I would raise the funds to go.

Greetings, I know it has been a long time since I last posted, but I am in Viet Nam, and the Internet is not always available. We are on the down hill slide now. We have three teaching days left, and then the school is taking us on a short trip. Things have smoothed out. The team has become a team, the school loves us and wants us back next year. We have been successful in building a foundation. We have had a few conversations but that is to be expected. The school my be offering me a full time job next week, I'll have to wait and see and of course pray about it. Many things to think about. I have a cold as does most of my team, but we have made it through bad illnesses, team issues and the heat here, so God has blessed us. And we do thank you for your prayers.
