Great Start to the Summer

Already enjoying our new location. We arrived May 4th, which would have been the last day for finals (if i was in school this semester) and the start of Summer Break. Since being here we have moved into the guesthouse we are staying in, met the journeyman we will be working with, met our supervisors, visited a Hindu temple, been to a couple markets, and tonight we just returned from meeting college students out in the city.
At the Hindu temple last night we were just going to observe and see everything that goes on. Our journeyman that we work with has a good friend who is from a nearby town and is a strong believer. He came from a Hindu background and believed when a random M at the beach shared with him and his parents and siblings and they all believe. You never know what HS will do in any situation, so keep spreading seeds. At this Hindu temple an old lady with no teeth came up and started talking to us in clear english and explained the idols. After a couple minutes a small crowd started gathering around us. Eventually we are all sitting on the ground in front of an idol and the jman and the nat. partner begin sharing the good news. None believed then, but received a number to call to get a copy of the Word. One of them called this afternoon and got one tonight.
This evening after dinner the jman had to go to a wedding he was invited to. So Jesse, the nat partner, and I walked around town looking for opportunities to share (the jman said this would be a daily event.) We found 3 college students sitting on some steps and started a conversation. By the time we left there were 8-10 of their other friends sitting around us, received an invite to a party for 500 to 600 people in their class, received several phone numbers and fbook requests, and also lots of questions if we would come back to hang out on those same steps again. They were all muslim, which is our focus here and on campuses. Some fellowships here go share on campuses with Hindus and Buddhists, but not Muslims in fear of a negative or harsh reaction. They are ignored and have no hope of receiving God's gift. We are here to reach them with the good news, and hopefully plant seeds in every university in our city. I ask that all these things and all these people be lifted up in your prayers. It also looks like each day will be filled with new people and events, so it looks like the blog could see more frequent posts.

Bdesh: 84% Muslim, 14% Hindu, 1% Buddhist, 1% Other

It's gonna be a good summer.
