Prayer Request!

I sit here at 1:13 a.m., just having returned from possibly the most eventful evening of the trip. It started with the prayer meeting at Peace Baptist Church where we finally met the members of the Brazilian youth group that we'll be working with the next couple of days. Adam did an excellent job preaching, and then we, along with some of our recent acquaintances went out to have an after-service snack. This was a wonderful time of fellowship, but of course all good things must come to an end, and so our group headed back to the bus.

Now the real fun began. It turns out that somewhere between the seminary, the church or the little restaurant, part of one rear axle broke, making the bus quite unfit to drive. This left us in downtown Juazeiro, at 11:00 at night, with no way to get back to the seminary efficiantly. The good news is this, as of 1:00am, every member of the seminary, as well as those in the Brazilian youth group, had been delivered to their respective dwelling places, with no danger posed to the group! Praise the Lord!

Here is the prayer request.....at this moment the bus driver is with a mechanic at the bus (Andrew and I dropped them off after we dropped the last group off at the seminary). Please pray that God will allow them to fix the bus quickly so that the team can continue to minister to the American School and the surrounding churches and congregations. Without the bus we could end up cooling our heals on the seminary, which would be very dissapointing to the entire team.

Thank you for your prayers!
