Frogs, boardmeeting and failed homevisit.

Had an interesting day.
Frogs
 Wanting to cool down the room before the board members come, we just heard a rumble in the AC compressor. And it came to a stop. Ingvar found a dead frog and another alive escaped from there. But the compressor doesn't want to start now.

Boardmeeting
Grateful for a Boardmeeting today in the tune of joy and gratefulness. I said to our staff yesterday that, yes writing reports might be boring and timeconsuming, but usually we are encouraged when we look at what has happened the last six months.

CSC
Grateful for all the hard work of the Child Safe Community team. And for the open doors and cooperation with schools, local community leaders, churches and government. All for the sake of the children of Isaan.   We've seen the team recently add new members who bring with them talents and skills we have been lacking. Isaan has a special music and song culture. It is important to reach the heart of  the people. Combining songs and rythm to the awareness program is so good.

N&GC (New and Growing Churches)
Grateful for the heart of unity in the group of pioneer workers and to see their humility and willingness to reach across the denominational boundaries. We had purposed to ''strengthen feeble knees and weak hands'' and the feedback we get is that these gatherings means a lot to many who otherwise would have given up and left Isaan.

TOL
Today we visited a home. We had been asked to help a young mother who has prostituted herself and is in a bad shape. Family fears for her sanity and she hasn't been able to leave the house for quite some time. Is battling a demonic darkness.  But today we missed her by a few minutes.
Jesus came to set free, those who are bound by the power of darkness. Love is our most powerful tool. We will be back.
