Peter's Family Update December 2011
Gail and Rick
One amazing answer to prayer is that Rick and I were able to talk to the pastor we've been working with about getting married! Yes, after several weeks here we discovered that hardly anybody is married in the church, they live together as "partners", have kids and everything!!!! So we prayed and prayed and felt God leading us to talk to them. We had mentioned something to the pastors "wife" ....turns out they are open to getting married and understand that God hasn't given the church power because of this area of disobedience! They said they will have a group wedding in December. We told them we want to be there for that, because I have formed nice friendships with a few of the women in that category, so maybe we can come up here again to be at that wedding. This is a huge answer to prayer! God is good! Anyway, that is why I got off so fast last night, a very exhausting day. Another amazing thing is we have been participating in many church services and offered to pray for people, and last night since it is our last Sunday service here, we invited people to come up for prayer either for salvation or for struggles in following God, but when people came up, we just waited, and a few women in the church went and prayed for people! We had been realizing the need for that since we are on our way out, the church needs to rise up and meet those needs. A topic for prayer, though is that no men went to pray for a man, so one of our team members had to pray for him. Anyway, that is just one day of what God is doing. Please cut and paste this and share it as praise and prayer for anyone interested, as I haven't been able to keep up with detailed communication... Another prayer request...we have 6 days left here and we had wanted to visit every house to share the gospel tract we developed, but when we've gone out, it has been very slow going and is taking a long time, so we need a strategy to get it out there. Maybe God wants us to be more selective about which houses we visit? We are asking, but if you can pray too, that would be great...Thanks! When we leave on Sunday morning, we will take 3-4 days to drive back, one of those days will be a day off to visit some amazing National Park with camping...when we get to Perth Maddie will be there! No Cam, though. I still haven't heard from him since he went to Burma, the brat! Well, that's all for now, Gail
The following day Cameron posted the following; (keeping in mind that Cameron is quite capable of yanking our chains!) I think he’s serious though.
Cameron Luke Peters Yea we are! And yes it's crazy. I've never been so scared for my life. We've had to run from secret police so many times already. It reminds me of Sacramento in that respect. But I'm really scared of getting caught cuz I heard Burmese prisons are really intense. But hopefully god continues to protect us! See ya soon ;)
