You may also recall that we asked for your prayer support during the trip. I believe that the prayers that you offered for Glenn and I and for the church planting effort made a huge difference in the success of the trip, as well as for our personal health and safety. Glenn and I never became ill or suffered in any way from food or water issues, even after the villagers in Mim insisted that we eat the strange food that they had prepared as a sign of good will and community! We slept restfully, even on the nights with the worst “bed” you’ve ever seen. We did not battle malaria, even though I personally had at least a dozen mosquito bites. We did not sunburn or suffer heat exhaustion even though we were very close to the equator and IT WAS HOT! I know that I should have burned. Glenn worked in the hot sun with the church members of Mim for several days when building the pavilion. He did not suffer heat exhaustion and did not even so much as tan. While you prayed about the success of the crusades, I also know that some of you were offering specific prayers about our health, our ability to rest, and about the heat and sun. For that we deeply thank you.
