Back in Kyrgyz-Land

In Kyrgyzstan we've done 8 shows so far in Tokmok, in villages nearby
and in Bishkek.  Almost all shows have been in schools and we have
been able to share a limited message about God's love.  We only have
one translator so not many real conversations after shows; just lots
of autographs and photos.  At the encouragement of our organizer, we
have been writing Bible references and phrases like "God loves you",
"God is truth", and "God is for you" along with our autographs so
hopefully the students will find a way to translate them later.  After
each show we do a quiz with the students to see if they were paying
attention to the show and then hand out DVD's with a message to the
kids as prizes.

Today was a special show at an institution for disabled men.  There
were over 100 men and many were up front dancing around to the music
the whole time and they all seemed to be thoroughly enjoying
themselves, totally uninhibited.  It was really precious to watch,
though heartbreaking to see some of the men's conditions!  After the
show, our organizer shared and about 20 men raised their hands to
receive the Lord!  It was very exciting!

Three more shows to go…

Another good note, we all received our passports back today with
Russian visas in them!  So, we are good to go for the flight back!
Glad that ordeal is over!  Whew!

Thanks so much for praying with us for the people of Kyrgyzstan.
