Scott Older’s mother, Sandra, left me a voice mail on behalf of Scott.  There was a serious automobile accident on the DI bridge just a little while ago.  A gentleman in one of the vehicles was severely burned and Scott asked that we pray for him.  I do not know any other details.  Pray fervently.

Louise e-mailed me last night to say that Bro. Jerry’s team “breezed” through customs which is a good thing.  Pray for them as they begin building houses today.  I had written yesterday that they would be helping a team from Tennessee build 10 houses tomorrow but that was in error.  The Lord works all things for good so this team will now focus on building the original 10 houses in El Durazno which is very near the mission house.

Glenn Cooper’s dad, Glenn, Sr., meets with the doctors today to discuss his situation.  Pray for Mr. Cooper and his family.

As I wrote yesterday, Bro. Robbie Howard did well through his procedures yesterday.  He should be discharged from the hospital today.  He is scheduled to preach at 1st Moss Point this Sunday, 7/18, and he really wants to honor his commitment so please pray for him to be able to do so.

The memorial service for Susan Blackmon Quinn takes place tomorrow night, 7/17, at 7:00PM in the church auditorium.  The family will receive friends beginning at 6:00PM.  Keep praying for this family.

I have asked Alisha Vice to share about her experiences in Kenya during our evening service this Sunday, 7/18.  I write that so any others with an interest can make plans to join us as we hear what God did in Alisha’s life during this time.

It was great news to hear that they have stopped the oil from spewing into the Gulf for the time being.  Those of us on the coast have been praying for news like this for months and I would ask our long distance readers to join in praying that this “temporary” fix leads to a permanent solution.

Soy & Deidra are doing well and are now back with Neal & Jana Seaborn.  They are doing well.  I think the natives have gotten Chris & Nicole!

The question has been asked, “since all of the full time staff members except you are out of the country who will be leading our musical worship this Sunday?”  IDK but I am trying to get Pastor Jack Bailey to let Joe David preach at Danville Baptist so Dr. Jack can come lead our musical worship.  It would be something you would never forget!

It is almost 5:00AM and Charles has already called wanting to know if I am going to work in his yard today!  I have no plans to post again until Monday morning.  We do still have folks out of town but I pray that those members of the Friendship family in town will be faithful this Sunday morning & evening.

I pray that you will have a great weekend with Jesus.
