Joseph
Our seminar had just started. Joseph was doing a good job of presenting the introductory material I had prepared on "The Prophets". I was following along in my outline looking for places that need to be clarified or changed when I heard Joseph say, "Now turn to Deuteronomy 13:1-5."

My ears perked up. That section was not in the outline. Joseph had one of the participants read the verse and then lead them in a good discussion of how even miraculous signs can lead people astray if they don't point to Jesus. It was excellent teaching and I immediately took notes and added them to the teaching material. Throughout the seminar, Joseph did this time and time again. He supplemented the material that I had provided with his own research. Then he used his own material to add depth to the teaching. I was impressed and encouraged.

Missionary son undergoes cancer treatment
(17 May 04) Missionaries Tim and Rita Nickel have returned to the states as their son receives chemotherapy treatments for cancer.

Josh has non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, an aggressive but treatable form of cancer. He is receiving his treatments at a Richmond, VA hospital. He will have six courses of chemotherapy treatment with three weeks rest between each course.

The Nickles will remain in the states until the first part of August.

"God is good. God heals," wrote Tim Nickles, "We thank you for your prayers. Prayer helps. It really makes a world of difference. He gets us through with your prayers and support. Thank you."


Missionary recovering from attack
(14 May 04) The LBT missionary in Nambia who was mugged by three assailants is now recovering in the home of fellow missionaries following surgery on his severely cut wrist.

Doctors were able to suture cut tendons in John Strasen’s right wrist and allowed him to leave the hospital wearing a splint cast while his injuries heal.

Strasen’s attackers also stole his passport, but it was found and turned in to the American Embassy.

Strasen is in the home of LBT Missionaries Shawn and Jill Boylan and is expected to fully recover.

Kaiser back in US; prayers continue
Greetings!

Thanks so much for your prayers while I was in Sierra Leone the past three weeks (I arrived back in the US on Friday). God kept me healthy, and kept me safe as I travelled the 200 miles up to Kono District and back.

Here are some items from the trip to pray about:
