Library Opened
February 13th, 2010 · Uncategorized
Everyone is safe and healthy.
Over 1,000 people came to the Library Celebration/Opening. They were able to feed all of the people. Mom and dad said the excitement was incredible. The Chief, similar to our governors, thanked IWW for keeping our promises. (isn’t that awesome!?) That’s all the info I could get because the phone system’s antenna broke.
A few more days and they will be traveling back to the states.

Prayer Request
January 18th, 2010 · News
Please pray for Alan Hicks Jr., our Executive Director. He was admitted to the hospital yesterday morning. The physicians are concerned that he may have picked up an illness while in Africa this past December. He has made major improvements through the night and today.
I will update again when we have more info.
Please pray for Alan.
Peace,

Almost Finished
January 15th, 2010 · Meto
The library is incredible. The construction will be complete in about a week. They were putting the windows in while we were there and had just finished mounting the solar panels and installing the electrical stuff. Some of the kids that walked to Meto for the youth conference stayed in the library for a few days. Soon the kids will have a safe, well lit place to study and learn.

Youth Conference Meto
January 13th, 2010 · Meto
We attended a youth conference in Meto in December. Almost 1,000 people came to worship together. One day there was only a few people in the village and the next there were people everywhere. It’s hard to imagine but these people just came walking out of the woods. No cars and no parking lot….just tons of people filling up a little village in the middle of the bush. They asked Alan to speak at a few of the meetings. Proof….
