FRUSTRATION

The lack of electricity really gets to a person after a while. It's been almost 3 weeks now that we have electricity only between 10pm and 6am. Slap bang in the middle of peak useless time.

I have been trying to prepare lessons for next week's Bible school teaching, from 11th to 15th Aug. I'm trying to put together lessons on HIV/AIDS. (without electricity for the computer). This is a huge subject and affects our leaders a great deal. As these people are called upon constantly to pray for, counsel, bury the dead and then as leaders of their communities and Churches take a stand. What point of view does a person take, especially one that brings glory to God. Is this God's judgment on sexual sin? Is it just reward for adultery? Should the local Church get involved at all?

The fact is that each and every family is affected in one or other way. So I'm aiming to teach on HIV/AIDS so that we can at least guide our leaders. Not only to be caring and compassionate but also to be informed leaders.

Please pray that we will be able to have a good week of lessons and discussions.
