Many thanks to everyone who prayed for my trip; it was wonderfully uneventful. There was a joyous reunion with Donna, who surprised me by coming to Cotonou to welcome me home. (Cotonou, where the airport is located, is a seven to nine hour drive from Parakou, where we live.) It has been good to see Micah Joy, old colleagues, new colleagues and the team in Benin.<\/p>\n
Your prayers will be appreciated as I jump back into life and work here in Benin. There are a number of issues on which I will be focusing: the communication problem I mentioned in my last blog, the Non Government Organization (NGO) process and the short wave license. Your continued prayers for these would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
(For the new comers to my blog, TWR is attempting to get its NGO status in Benin. This would be equivalent to getting 501(c)3 non-profit status in the USA. Also, TWR is trying to get a short wave license that will allow us to reach more people with the gospel).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
