(The man wearing the hat is Pastor Choul who we have requested prayer for. He’d been having a good week and came along with the men from church.)

Two Sundays ago we asked our church to help us cut our grass. This requires weed eaters. They said they would come Monday and we had no idea what to expect. Ten men showed up. One of the things Josh prayed that morning was that they would offer to help with making a brick path from our stairs to the cement under our house. Josh had started the project, but was unsure when he’d have time to get back to it. The men asked if there was anything else they could do and had the project done in less than 2 hours.

The kindness these men showed to us was a great encouragement. Sometimes I feel like we give and give and give and are expected to give more. The fact that they gave up their time (not expecting payment) encouraged us that we are a part of the body of Christ together with our Jarai brothers and sisters…not just missionaries giving continually.
