Well we don’t have “Chikungunya” (yet), but it’s been spreading all over Georgetown like wildfire. The Adventist hospital where we live has been receiving a steady stream of infected patients

Dear friends and family,

We’re back again after 3 months of traveling, seeing family, and sharing in churches etc. Dwayne spent 3 intense weeks doing flight training and now he has his flight instructor rating for both multi and single engine airplanes.

Mr G lives in a small house nestled at the foot of Shivapuri forest located within few kilometers from the Budhanilkantha where there is that famous statue of a deity that is built in the midst of pond with the carvings of snakes forming the bed wherein is seen lying the deity worshiped and respected by many locals and the country people.

This year we have a more focused vision to do a lot of Bible training in this region of Chad. We plan to conduct various short (2-3 week?) training sessions in different villages. In addition to this, we plan to distribute solar mp3 players with Scripture and other material, and we hope to set up a small printing operation.
