Face-off

We were slow in getting our September support out to our staff and homes. We just didn't see the floods, political demonstrations, (still going on and disrupting the economy) and damage to our rice harvest coming. Anyway, we were fortunate to have each home stocked with extra food, and even though the staff had to wait for their salaries, they were all paid. But the "Hirelings" did come to the surface."Why do you take care of the orphans first?" They demanded to know. Our response was easy. "You guys eat with the orphans, you have food, shelter and clothing, and you will be paid when we are able. If you can't live with that, in a sense of service, then you need to move on." They quit moaning and got back to work, especially after seeing the young people take hold of the power of God.It seems a few of our older supervisors were being pushed by our disgruntled former national leader, who is till trying to steal property. He really does have too much time on his hands! He should try to start a church, not destroy those he once led. The good news is that Mak Sou met with them and began by asking for their forgiveness for being late with their support. This broke the resistance. There was repentance and tears, the cream rose to the top, documents were "thumb printed" and completely destroyed the plans of the enemy, ending with communion.[nggallery id=1152]
