Monday afternoon

It's 2:22 p.m. on Monday afternoon. We just finished lunch at the "Click Net" and we'll be leaving soon to TH again to have a birthday party for all the boys. Since most of them have grown up on the street, most of them have no idea when their birthday is. So we're holding a birthday party for them all.
We visited the prison this morning and joined in a church service.
Let me tell you, they had church.
Drums, music, dancing and testimonies.
Many people in the prison are there for multiple years with no chance for parole, but they are much more behaved then prisoners I've met in America.
I would estimate that 50-60 people came forward to accept Christ after Jerry Minx preached.
Those who were already believers appeared strong in their faith and all enjoyed discussing it with us after the service.
We attended two church services yesterday.
Both at the Plateau Church, a church Lakepoint Church in Rockwall is partnering with.
I was looking forward to an exciting service with music and dancing like we had seen at the orphanages, but it was very traditional with an organ, hymns and very non-charasmatic.
But God still works and six or seven people came to know Christ yesterday.
Well, we're about to head out again.
Thank you all for your emails and prayers.
Pray that I can shake this annoying "annual cough of death" that I think I've taken on.
My girlfriend Laurie is also dealing with a sinus infection back in Texas. Please pray for her healing as well.
Thanks for everything.
Praise God! Hallelujah!
