[Guyana-Mission-Report] Riding to Georgetown

By the time you read this email, I should be on a minibus traveling 11

hours to Georgetown to pick up the airplane. I was supposed to leave on the big bus this morning, but unfortunately they cancelled it.

After a month of delays, the airplane is finally through with its annual, and tomorrow the official from Civil Aviation will inspect the aircraft. If everything goes according to plan (like we're praying) I should be able to do some test flights, and have the airplane ready to go by the early part of next week.

The Lord tells us in Isaiah 55 that His thoughts and His ways are much higher than our thoughts and ways. We wondered why God allowed such a long delay with the airplane.

One of the things we did recently is help with a Vacation Bible School at the Lethem Church. We consistantly had 30+ kids come out to the program, and even though Joy and I had never done anything like this, it sparked some ideas of what we would like to do in Shea. Now the kids are calling out to me as I pass on the road. It was fun.

Right across the street is a family of Jehovah's Witnesses. One of the ladies is dying of colon cancer. A couple days ago she was in such excruciating pain that she was praying for death. Joy has been going over there frequently during the day, and even at night to administer injections and bring comfort to the family. They are very grateful for her help. Two nights ago we baked the family a whole pan of cinnamon rolls. With six kids and five adults, I doubt they lasted more than 24 hours.
