Awesome.

Starting Friday night around 10 pm something I started to get really sick. I was up all night doing what sick people do. About an hour after I started Laura started as well. She was feeling better about 8 am the next morning but I was still going at 10am. I would say it was the sickest I have ever been besides having malaria for 4 days. Laura and I both were laid up in bed the entire day on Saturday. Thankfully our friends (Pat and Kathi) were here to watch the kids. Still feeling pretty bad I called one of our faithful Masai guys in church to preach for me today. Pat was going to play music but he woke up doing what sick people do as well.
The awesome thing was that I had made my way to shower because I was becoming pretty stinky and as I was getting out Laura told me that I had a bunch of people at the gate that was wanting to pray with me. I was thinking she must be starting to hallucinate or something. Sure enough I walked outside and there were 15 youth and 8 men from church that just wanted to come and pray for us with our sickness. One of the men is a man who comes to my Wed. night Bible study and I have been inviting him to church for a long time and he decided to come today. He is the one that lead the prayer for us. God is awesome and you never know who He is allowing you to affect. Below is a picture of the folks who came to pray.

Wow! God is so awesome!!! He answered even one of my prayers in this! That He would use y'alls sickness to give others opportunity to serve Him! And He has done that in the hearts of some of the men there. It is answered prayers like these that have me humbled to the dust at how big and soveriegnly in control our Lord is! Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him. Praise the Lord!!!
