The robbery

A little different look at life at IFM! This morning we had the first robbery since I am here. This is the third in a group of robberies. The last two were while I was in the states. This time they tryed the same thing they done the last two times, came through the office roof. This time they discovered we put plywood under the tin so they cant get through it with a srewdriver.
  A few details are, At midnight Tibutson one of the natives that lives with us woke me and said, I think someone is on the roof. We listened for a while and could not tell for sure so we went back to bed, but kept one ear open! At three fourty five AM Shea got a call from Aaron the admin. that the theif was in the house and they were coming to the office which is next to our dorm. Shea had opened the door to go out, but just then they came up the strairs, so he hid inside the door to watch. The theif slammed our door shut and held it while Aaron  got the money from the office. Once he had the money he ran down the steps and got out of there with Shea right on his tail to get a good look who it was. Shea chased him to the gate and left him go.
  Then we spent the next half hour or so talking and praying together,seeking spiritual rest from the Lord.
 Continue to pray with us for the salvation of this soul. He is a local, in need of the saviours touch!!!
May God Bless your day!!!

Where is Jesus

Where is Jesus? Do we see him today?
 Where does the scripture say we will find Jesus?
 While Jesus walked this earth, he could be found mainly with one group of people. The last, the lost, and the least. Where can Jesus be found today? Did you ever think of it, that Jesus, might be that bum, you see on the streets of your town, who is known for his filthy life.  He may be the eldery person I did not lend a hand. He may be that cashier that was a bit slow as you checked out at the local walmart. He may just be that one that needed a listening ear as you hurried to not miss your sunday morning church service.  He has not changed. He still is reaching out to the same people. 
 Why do we try so hard to stay aw.ay from these people, If we truely are dead to self, and alive unto Christ, we will find ourselves drawn to these people. Christ will send them our way. 
 Why is it, that we would have no problem talking to a man dressed in fine cloths carrying a briefcase, but when we see the man with tattered cloths and shaggy hair, we lean over to our friend and say, take a look at that guy!!! Wonder what he`s up to? Surely its no good!
 If you want to see Christ today, Help out one of these people, in his name
