Heading To Tendala

Dear Constance Family,

Tomorrow is our second and last Sunday in the Congo. I do not have to preach this week so that will obviously be more relaxing for me. Today was a rather quiet and enjoyable day. I did alot of playing with the children around here. They enjoy the 'white folks' who pay attention to them! They are beautiful children.

After church tomorrow we are driving the two and a half hours to Tandala Hospital. The roads are not very good and so we appreciate your prayers. We get to see the ministry the hospital has had among this people for many years. What a blessing for them all! Tandala is a Free Church hospital started many years ago, and with whom we now have a connection with the Mayo Clinic for help and supplies. This came about through other teams who came before us, people who provided the technical equipment and who had the connections to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. God has blessed this work.

Tonight is the coolest one we have had so far, and that makes for better sleeping. Most days and nights bring alot of perspiration (what about this COOL season??). Thankfully I have not faced any sickness on this trip (the food must agree with me). With the busy past week it is nice to face some quieter days ahead.

Please pray for our final days here, and for the wonderful people in the Congo. Pray for the pastors and evangelists serving our God faithfully among their people and beyond the Congo. May God bless your Sunday and worship together in Minnesota!

Serving Him With You,

Pastor Randy
