Wanted: Committee (Update)

WANTED
BY THE SAVIOR TO GIVE GLORY
TO THE KING OF KINGS!
Meka's, Committee's wife, casket
(Committee was the first WANTED e-mail we sent; for you who keep track)

"Bang", "Bang," "Bang"...I can hear them pounding the boards together for her casket now. Just 4 days earlier Jason was in their house chatting and laughing with her and her husband, a day later the Dr. said she was really sick and we went to visit her. The Dr. had put her on a drip but when there was no improvement decided to save the medicine for someone that it could help. The next day, she slipped into a coma. Yesterday morning, she died. All day yesterday people came from other villages to see her and to grieve with the family. (just a week ago her daughter had given birth to a gorgeous baby girl) That is all we can do, grieve. There is little comfort when she isn't with Christ. God in His infinite wisdom knew she would die and He knows about the others that will die before we can teach them about the awesome hope of eternal life. For us, in our humanness, it is hard to see. I need to go now and join the procession to the burial plot.

Keep praying that God would continue to prepare the heart's of the Tobo people,
His Clay Pots, Jason, Kellie, Micah, Sophia, & Malachi
