OKAY GOD; PLEASE DO YOUR THING

It WAS raining hard Tues, the day the group departed from Okinawa. The wedding is today in Bangladesh, and God is giving us a sunny 82.4 Fahrenheit day!

Thundershowers Tues, but Nice Today! Saaya and Aino, Two Ladies Signing "Peace"

If you've been following along, you know the wedding is featuring Saaya, one of our church's young ladies (upper left corner of pic); invited to a special evangelistic service by the present pastor; now commissioned by the Gushikawa Baptist Church in Okinawa--a church Daddy helped start--to reach the Bengali for Christ.

1984?

Many of you know the prevalent religion of Bangladesh is Islam. Most of the people there will not touch Christianity; coming out to relatives' and acquaintances' weddings is perhaps the only contact they will ever have with the Gospel. Rani and the believers have been praying earnestly for God's Spirit to work during the few hours of festivities--500 are expected to come--and Saaya and sisters in Christ in the church here worked to make pretty scripture bookmarks in Japanese and Bengali  writing for her to take and give out as memorials, a common wedding practice there.

One sows, another waters, but God gives the Increase. Daddy sowed, Saaya and Rani are watering--oh God, give us the increase!
