Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I trust that it is well with your soul. we thank God for you and pullman foursquare church because of keeping us in the mission field through your faithful giving and prayers.
As you are aware, this has been the month of ramadhan when muslim pray and fast--this is one of the five pillars of islam. About fifty christians joined in fourty days of prayer and fasting asking God to save the descendants of Ishmael. Eunice has been the one giving leadership to this group. Many chose to survive on breakfast only or lunch only and only eternity will reveal what has been happeneing in the spiritual raealms.
We have been praying that people will become disatisfied with what Islam has to offer and that they will meet with Jesus who only can satisfy the thirst of our souls as he did to the samaritan woman. We have seen the answer to this prayer as many young muslim people have not been faithfull in the fasting. They also prefer to watch English premiership matches in the television than go to Mosque.
Last sunday evening, a sheikh(equivalent to a pastor) came into the church where our team was screening "jesus film" and actually stayed there for quite sometime--we believe that God will convict him to come to the way, the truth, the life.
We are at the moment very busy preparing our standard eight students for National exams that will be taking place early november--please pray that we will glorify God with good results.
I ministered at the teachers training college last week. After the meeting,a young man who was a muslim until last month was brought to me so i can disciple him--please pray that i will have time to help establish this man in the faith.
In early November,I will be speaking at the only Medical training college in the province. Pray for God to use me.
Pray for God to send more missionaries as the number that is here isnt enough although i also know that God doesn't depend on numbers
Lots of Love from us

Kaarin Swanson in Australia
Whoa.
So, here I am, in Australia. The flight went well, so much better than i expected. On the LAX - Sydney flight, in the morning, they handed me a hot washcloth with tweezers... I pretended I knew what to do with it, but not before laughing at the confusion. It's not hot, just warm, like an early summer day and the geckos are pretty cool and make this chirping sound. There are some stowed away in this computer room whom were chirping last night and we thought it was a bat and even identified a peice of wood as that bat. But we were corrected and told that the bats won't come around until about april and they have a wing span of about two feet. HA.
There are two schools going on at the base right now, a Frontier's DTS and my MAD DTS. The Frontiers focus on underdeveloped countries and reaching those who havn't heard the gospel, so while my school is practicing music/art/dance they will be learning about medicine and stuff. They're leaving for the weekend to stay at a cabin but my school is staying here and we have some classes and are going to go into the city. My school (the Art part) leader was talking to me this morning about some photographers she's been looking into and art events around the city that we'll go to... there are only 4-5 of us art students which is AMAZING. I'm so glad there arn't many of us.
We have breakfast and morning tea, lunch and dinner and there's always a bin full of bread if we get hungry inbetween. So that's good, I'm glad it's bread and not something unsatisfying and lame! :)
I just wanted to drop a note and let you all know what's going on and that I REALLY appriciate your prayers!
