We’ve had a somewhat eventful month. We started going to a small group at the church we’re attending, it’s been a huge blessing to make some new friends and be connected with people who live near us. A few weeks ago we met at a park, and while the kids were playing under the playground equipment Ezekiel got stung on the head by a wasp! He complained about it hurting for a while and then seemed fine. Caleb, being who he is, found the rest of the wasps and killed them all…
The next morning Ezekiel woke up and told Amy that he couldn’t open his eye and it hurt to take a deep breath. Now we’re an epi-pen family! He went to the hospital to get checked out and then came home, he’s now fully recovered and fine.
I got a message yesterday from Robert, one of our team mates in Lopit. He was giving me updates on a bunch of things, but one of those was about Michael. He said “I went to Lohutok briefly and I talked to your watchman, he said they’re continuing with the book and have almost finished.” Many of you may remember that when I was in Lohutok earlier this year, I found out that Michael had been reading a book I gave him called “Following Jesus.” He had finished reading and filling out the book and was ready to talk about it with someone. I encouraged Paul to go to Lohutok and meet with Michael, go through the book, explain the gospel, and encourage Michael to repent and believe in Christ. I wasn’t sure if Paul would actually manage to make it to Lohutok regularly and do this, but apparently he has, and I can’t get a better update than that!
Please pray with us that Michael would fully understand his sin and need for Christ and that he would repent and cling to Christ for salvation and growth. Michael is a dear friend of our family, and is also an important member of the Lohutok community, we have been praying for a breakthrough with him for years.
Feel free to reach out if you want to talk, get together or if you have any questions about our current plans and situation. We always love hearing from people!
Thanks! Justin, Amy, Ezekiel,
