…you're taking up too much space!
I guess we are not taking up too much space because we are clearly living on the edge! We have several things for you to pray for!
1. The quote in the subject line was the tag line for a group named eduventure that we've been blessed to know and I think is now extinct. Their fearless leader, Scotty Wisley and his wife, Heidi, just moved back to their Papua where they are starting schools that will meet educational needs of papuan kids and their families as well as build Biblical worldview into kids from the start.
Sunday the family was returning home after a shopping trip to the city. Just so you get the picture, the 'city' is several hours of 4 wheeling drive away and sometimes has Toilet paper in the stores. The 4 wheel drive vehicle was also in the shop for a brake repair. As the family neared home they stopped at the last river to wash the car, cool their feet in the water and play a while after a long drive. As Scotty drove down into the river to wash the car, the brakes failed and the vehicle hit Heidi, running over her knee when she couldn't scramble over the rocks fast enough to get out of the way. Getting her evacuated took 'forever', but she is safely in the Hospital as of this hour. Please pray for her recovery and wisdom for the doctors as they piece her jigsaw puzzle fractured leg bones back together.
2. After being home a week, Lizby has come down with high fever (104, cough, headache and other symptoms 4 days ago. The malaria smears are negative, the bloodwork looks unremarkable but the antibiotics aren't working so we think it is a virus. She has midterms next week for the classes that she's only sat in on once, so she is understandably stressed as well. Please pray for her to have peace and healing! Pray that I'll have wisdom regarding treatment if I should change something!
3. This evening when we went to do evening chores, the baby Giri Raja chicks were dying in one pen. We isolated and quarantined the 4/31 that were left. A vet from the dept of health came right away and examined them. We think it is a viral infection and there is a vaccine available so we have some work to do when daylight comes to disinfect pens and vaccinate the remaining chicks. Thanks again for praying for this project. It is drawing a lot of interest from small farmers, the dept of ag and Community Development folk. We have the next batch of chicks hatching in the incubator as I write, so we are blessed and thankful for God's blessings!
4. Last, but maybe most important eternally, Larry is preparing for a three week trip. He goes to Germany first for a conference, then to a different province in Indonesia to do the voice dubbing for the Luke Video in the L language. This is his first time to do a dubbing. He is working very hard to familiarize himself with the software and equipment. He is feeling very stretched. Pray that Larry will have God's wisdom as he does this project and that he will see tangible evidence that God is bringing all the details into alignment in this project. Pray against any hinderances that would cause problems… i.e. equipment not working properly, power outages, voice talent sick, misunderstandings, etc.
Thanks again for your prayers! We are so glad to be on the cutting edge, even when it feels scary!
