The first, of, what I’m sure will be many, apologies.

So, the other day I wrote a post called riding the storm. In which I managed to make a situation that, technically I had nothing to do with completely about myself. It’s not that I think the world revolves around me (well not always anyway) but I guess when you in a place like this, translation is tuff, language is different all the stuff that I experience is kinda revolving around in my own little bubble. So sorry folks, so today I heard a bit more of the actual story...

So the guy from up the road started shouting, telling the kids they had to leave they looked to Tina for reassurance and she told them they could stay. The kids insistently told the man, they were there to learn about Jesus and to play games and didn’t want to go. When the police got there, one of the team explained the situation, and before the commotion, actually let the team finish the kids program before doing anything. Meanwhile, back in the house, while I was sitting quietly, the guys that had turned up later were the village bosses, who, at first had said to Ismet, ‘’why do you bring these people hear, you know in our village we don’t have any religion, Muslim, catholic, Christian, nothing’’ they chatted to the people that had been coming to see if they had been brain washed and, of course they hadn’t. Then they said to this Guy, Baca Feta ‘’you, tell us who you are, who you represent and why you are hear’’. Baca feta in true old skool style proceeded to explain the gospel, that we were there to teach people the good way to live and to care for the children. This situation ended with these guys saying that what we were doing was fine and why didn’t Ismet get hold of this crazy guy and throw him off his property. Of course he then explained that wasn’t what we believed in.
However, to make a relatively ok situation worse this guy, had got together a couple of goons and has since told Ismet that if he holds another of these meeting they will burn his house down.
Needles to say we will probably not be meeting there this week. However Ismet the relentless evangelist is intending to build relationships share the gospel on a personal level until such a time as he hopes we can meet there again (which they hope will be in a couple of weeks!)

So, apologies about the direction of the first story. But please do pray for this guy, Ismet, he’s a soldier and an evangelist, however he is little worried for his family, pray for the people of Babaloce, and for this guy, that his heart would be broken, that his eyes would be opened and that his conversion may just lead to a turnaround in the entire village.

Thanks folks

Sorry.
