Acts

Don't we all wonder where the time goes?

It's all just way too fast.

We've officially completed all of our classes... and have a day of fun with the kids planned tomorrow, and after that a weekend of sight-seeing the beauty of the country, spending most of it at nation's one and only lake, Issyk-Kul.

As the days narrowed down, I personally felt a need to be intentional with all I do, simply trying to display the changes Chris has made in my life, and at one point almost got the whole operation busted. I slipped in during class, as one of the ways I find daily peace and relaxation, that I like to read the Word.... and to my slight surprise, BIG No-No. Somehow word spread like wildfire after class through the students and it reached one of the ears of the university directors... who informed MY leader that mentioning something like that could get the whole enchilada shut down, and every pocket of believers connected in any way hunted down and deported.

The country is actually not thaaat anti-the-truth (they would actually prefer if the muslim faith remained dormant and simply a cultural thing too), but the KGB fears any sort of rising power that could sway its current hold of the political and social spheres. I actually can't say too much on this topic... eyes are everywhere.

But do pry earnestly for us, as we are trying to (at least) non-verbally convey the power and love of the King. There has been SOME success... much in the form of an after class, coffee shop, completely objective style, but we'd just like to make sure we're takin' advantage of every opportunity we're blessed with.


Thanks friends......
