The End...Almost...

Well, here we are. The end of the last day of work here amongst the Bayono tribe.

What do I think of my adventure?

This is going to be a hard question to answer right now. God has shown & taught me so much in the last four weeks, that it is probably going to take me a few weeks to process the whole thing. I know I have spent the last four weeks in another part of Gods wonderful creation, that I have met & befriended some of the best people I have ever known, and that our Father in Heaven definitely has a plan for the Bayono people. Both by the Edelens ministry here and Beni & his families ability to survive on a long term daily basis in this unforgiving environment.
I would like to take a minute to thank each and every one of you who supported me financialy and prayerfully while I was on my trip. I would like you all to know how your contributions have been paying off...

Firstly the Edelens will be able to return to the Bayono tribe, as a family, the next time they fly in. Now that the building has a roof & guttering for fresh water, they will be able to stay in their own house, and able to minister to the Bayono tribe.




Secondly, our presence here has been a blessing to the Bayono people. Since we arrived we have been creating new friendships and sharing Gods love with the people. Especialy the children. They do not often have much to smile about, and us being here and interacting with them has blessed them so much.



Thirdly you have helped a fellow brother in Christ grow deeper in his faith in the last four weeks than he has in the last two years! For that I personaly thank you. I knew God would have challenges for me here, but I was not prepared for the things he has shown me, and they have truly opened my eyes and my heart.

That is really all I can think to say right now. I am off to take my last wash in the river. I will put my last post on this blog on Wednesday 21st of April.

I will also be available after this time to personally share my experience with you or your community group. I have lots of awesome stories and photos to share...

Peace

Your humbled carpenter for Christ....
