Yesterday Gremar and I, and Matt and Laura did the first Pastoral Care class at Mahula. We had good discussions about pressure on the youth to stay away from Christianity if they expect to ever get married. Traditional Africans will not give their daughters to a Christian man. They talked about a certain man that left the church because of it but now his wife wants to become a Christian. (“Ikon Allah”) God reigns, as they say in Hausa.
Today all of us went to Momo (see Map) for the second chapter on Pastoral Care, seven of the eight came, six with their wives. Definitely worth the hour on the bush road and a half an hour on broken pavement. About a quarter of a mile from Acre I started to smell cooling fluid but the vehicle was not running hot, but just before we turned into Acre we staled and the vehicle was hot, we added what water we had and made it to Matt and Laura’s place. Upon looking over the vehicle it appears a rock flew up under the vehicle and was caught between the fan and radiator causing a deep gouge that was leaking profusely. We thank God we made it home in well over 100 degree heat and we pray that a radiator can be found. For now that vehicle is out of business. We still have the vehicle I am using so we are not without transportation.
