I went to the doctor today about my vision, and it has been an "adjustment" for me to need glasses and/or contacts after having 20/20 vision all of my life until this last year! I can't read small print as easily, so I need contacts and/or glasses.
I have then been busy with creative projects all day, which have come as a surprise...The day has flown by.
Both pastors in Pakistan and Kenya are truly going the extra mile to get free evangelistic materials in Urdu and Kiswahili from World Missionary Press. The pastor in Kenya was going to use all of his money to take the bus to get the materials. I wrote them at World Missionary Press to let them know that LTW would pay for the shipping, because he did not have a car, and it would be way too much to carry, much less the fact that he said he was going to use practically all of his money for the bus ride. They wrote back to let us know that they are currently out of tracts and Gospel booklets in Kiswahili, but they have ordered more. The pastor in Pakistan is in the process of driving to get the free materials in Urdu for the table outreach. In addition to these free materials, I will try my best to convey needs to raise money for these outreach locations where even Christians cannot afford Bibles.
On a creative note, I have been offered a free class in photography, so I will be taking my first photography class soon. Eventually, I want to give my photos of nature and children to anyone who gives to Lighting the Way as a thank you gift. I want to make them unique, posting Bible verses about God's love and power along with my photos of nature.
I know I have said this before, but tomorrow I plan to post photos from the Atlanta outreach last weekend, along with an update.
We have also begun designing a new web site for Lighting the Way. This is actually not an option, because we have outgrown the current format, and we continue to expand with no space to expand on the web site.
I still have much work to do on http://www.bygodsgrace.org/ . All I can say is I have scheduled that for tomorrow and will get to it after I post the photos from the Atlanta outreach last weekend.
All packages have been sent to Rosa in Los Cabos, Mexico, and we are waiting to hear back from her, as she is gathering supplies for the new table outreach to begin in Cabo San Lucas. We spent over 100.00 in shipping alone this month to Mexico to get this new table outreach started. It will be worth it when we see it up and running in action!!
With a faithful Shepherd,
Dwayna
