From visiting our old home area on Sundays to visiting with our long time missionary friends, this has been an experience we hope will serve us well as we continue to help train/mentor future missionaries back in the USA. As we sat last evening and visited with Shawn and Linda Tyler it became more apparent to me that the scope of their work for the Kindom of God is much larger than I had imagined. As we chatted about their struggles Shawn said, "Our struggles are different than a lot of missionaries because of the scope and length of time we've been here." His struggle? How does a team of 6 effectively work with 350 churches spanning 6 different language groups? Wow...to have such problems, many missionaries would give their right arms to have. It is with those kinds of thoughts that we give what we have to the final weeks here to build for these "persevering saints" hoping to be a blessing as we head down this road God as put us on...
Paint and facia brick on next week! Keep praying...
Love and miss you all, Tom
