Hi all, especially my friends in Bangladesh,
Its been such a long time since we have communicated, but I am hoping that you are all still strong in the Lord and in His Mighty power. Nairobi has been raining for a while reminding me of the last days in Satkhira when the Monsoon winds caught up with us.
How are you all doing? Roni, Sumi, Rimi, Shital, Rupa, Richard, Taposh, Arnest, how is Uncle Joseph, and Tribina, Dipali - and hey! John, how are they all doing?
As for me, I visited Liberia, South Africa, and just led another team in Mozambique through a FRONTIER process. It was very different from what we had in Bangladesh, the concepts same but the methodologies different. We know in Bangladesh the issues were more of child trafficking, huge Spiritual Warfare which the Lord gave us Victory e.t.c in Mozambique, the issues are more of HIV/AIDS, poverty, and reconciliation/stigma. It was very dry and we also ate alot of rice which I know you would all be pleased to hear.
I have shared with some of you, but for those who don't know, our team is coming to an end as of end of June this year. We still know that the Lord has called us for big things, but as of June, we are all seeking/looking for what the Lord has in store for us; We know His plans are perfect.
I encourage all of you not to give up, not to loose focus on what the Lord has invested in you. You are special and carry the Lords work in you. Be aware of people of bad character, stick around people who will influence you, those who think positively. Pray all the time, and remember those who are in need; its not just about you.
Is Roni still making nice curries? Rupa still making the nice dresses?
I have been involved also with a little business ( blog spot http://dorcusbeads.blogspot.com/ ) making products from recycled magazines. April my friend and I have been doing this for the last 10months and we are using this as another opportunity to have entry points with women in the communities. Attached is a picture of us at a sale last November.
How was your Christmas?
