How Beautiful Are the Feet.........

Paul says in Romans 10:14-15 "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!' ". 

I got off the phone with Kim this morning (Verizon will thank me for that next month!), this is the passage of scripture that immediately came to my mind.  Why?  Thanks to a little device called a Proclaimer.  A Proclaimer looks similar to an alarm clock.  It is produced by a ministry called Faith Comes By Hearing.  It can be charged through a wall outlet, solar power, or hand cranked, so it can work anywhere.  But basically, it plays someone reading the New Testament in whatever different language you choose.  Before Kim left, a good friend of ours (Kandy Sanders) contacted Faith Comes By Hearing and was able to get us three Proclaimers in Lugandan, Uganda's native language (yes, it is Lugandan, not Ugandan, no typo), to take with them and leave there.  Anyway, I was talking to Kim this morning, and she said they got all of their stuff unpacked, including the Proclaimers.  They showed the staff how to use them.  The ladies there loved them, and immediately began listening to them while the babies were playing.  The team left to run into Jinja for supplies for the beds and shelves, and when they returned a couple of hours later.........the ladies were STILL listening to the Proclaimer.  Why is this so important?  Not all of the staff at Sonrise are believers!!!!  This could have absolutely HUGE, ETERNAL implications.  Please pray for God to open eyes and ears!!!

Other than that, Kim sounded MUCH better than yesterday.  They had gotten some good rest last night, and she sounded like a brand new person.  Like I said, they went into Jinja and got matresseses for the children's bunk beds they are building, and got the lumber orderded.  They got all their supplies unpacked.  She also said the staff went absolutely crazy (happy) when they got their new scrubs and Sonrise T-shirts!!!  She's got video of everybody singing and dancing.  It sounded like another very productive day.

Kim's actually been eating some local food, and said she loves the African tea they've been drinking.  She also said the weather is perfect, high's in the 70's and lows in the 60's.  Keep in mind, as she was telling me this, I was standing in my driveway at 7:30 pouring sweat as the temps approached 90 already!!!!  I believe thanks to some sleep and rejuvenation from the Father, the team is in much better spirits!!!! 

Some specific things to pray for:
-That God will allow the men and women to "hear and believe" His Word through the Proclaimers. 
-That construction of the bunk beds will go smoothly.
-That the team will continue to rest well when they can.
-They will all remain healthy.

Thanks everybody!
