DAYS 8,9, & 10

Tom and Richard returned to the first city they visited for a debriefing. Jared flew back to the USA while Phani went to visit relatives.

The next day, Tom and Richard continued their trip to a new city to work with an M couple. Thursday morning they went out to a town about an hour from the main city. 10 people came to a weekly B study. Richard had the opportunity to teach for 2 hours. Those in the study learned how to tell G’s story by making a simple drawing. The people also learned a more detailed version using copies of black and white line drawings. Each person was given a set of 4 drawings. Several in the study seemed eager to share the stories that they had learned with non-believers.

After lunch, Richard, Tom, the M couple, and 2 nationals went visiting. They started at the home of a believer. His mother was there. A prayer was said for her to believe.

Next, the group went to see the son of another member. The man they visited was very depressed. His wife had left him. He had a drug and alcohol problem. He listened while Richard told a true story about a believer who had been healed from paralysis.  This was meant to be a message of hope by trusting in JC. Unfortunately, the man barely responded to what was said. The final visit was to a member’s home. The lady had a 6-year autistic son she was caring for. The husband had practically walked out on the family. The group prayed for her as she struggled to make ends meet and care for her child.
