Bula !fname:

It is impossible to really convey not only what it
is like living in a developing country, but now
understanding how vital it is to have prayer support
for the work missionaries do.  Thank you for your
prayers and remembering us.

Common sights as we live out our work for the Gospel
here:

*Families loaded down with firewood walking down the
dirt roads back to their homes to cook supper.

*Beautiful smiling faces with many, if not most of
them missing teeth.

*Young men playing rugby on almost every open field.

*Chickens, goats, pigs wandering around the villages
often in and out of homes.  (One church I preached had
chickens running through during the service :-)

*Market stands full of fresh root crops, fruit, and
live animals sold at the side of roads everywhere.

Such is a glimpse of life in Fiji for the average
person.   (Most of the world class resorts are
tucked far away from the REAL Fiji.)

The Church of Fiji is uniting in a powerful way
around the IWT tour.  In towns are villages pastors are
astounded at how the body of Christ is pulling
together in historic ways to see the KING proclaimed.
Who would have thought our experience in  battles 
in Rockford for church unity the Lord would use
years later, half way around the world in a poverty
stricken country!

The military dictator is growing more brazen in his
control of the country sending it further into economic
ruin and despair.

This combination of events we are convinced will lead
to the prophetically proclaimed move of the Holy Spirit
coming to Fiji.  As I was walking, praying and meditating
last week I realized for the first time we were doing
something that I truly believed was IMPOSSIBLE without
God moving miraculously over the next few weeks.

The constant pressure of warfare is the most severe
we have ever lived through.  The powers of darkness
must be threatened about how this wave of revival is
not only going to impact Fiji, but the rest of Asia 
and the end times harvest as we see young people
discipled and sent.

Between the cultural adjustments, feeling homesick for
our family back in IL, the on-going attacks of the 
enemy, we can honestly say we are at peace knowing
we are in God's will, and that He ALWAYS leads us
in triumph.

The next 2 months will be intense with our work
load.  PLEASE make a special effort to hold us
up in prayer during this time.
