The community garden project is still in motion. We'll be going to the city of Phoenix this week to try and get the permit for grading to begin and then move forward from there. There are a few potential obstacles that could crop up, so please keep this in prayer.
This morning, I had the opportunity to teach at the Bhutanese church that was launched out of our church. They are meeting in a small 2 bedroom apartment. With the outside temperature close to 110 degrees and close to 35 people in the living room, it was definitely a "missions" type environment...which I LOVE!!!
About a month ago, I assisted Pastor Phillip with a water baptism at this same apartment complex. 11 people chose to obey Jesus and took this monumental step. We did it at the main pool and quite a few of the people that lived in the apartments surrounding the pool area came out on their patios to check out what was happening. These onlookers were refugees from around the world, some of them Muslim, some Buddhist, and quite a few were Hindus, (which is what those being baptized were before choosing to follow Jesus.) They looked genuinely intrigued at what was happening. What a joy!
God is on the move.
