 On the five-hour bus ride a while back from Bobo to Ouaga there was an event that I’d like to share. I was half asleep in the back with my head down when the bus started lurching as the driver suddenly slammed on the breaks in several irregular bursts. Not so unusual I thought. The driver was as scary as ever with his speeding and all the sudden terror moments this entails as animals and people suddenly walk out on the road through the head-high, thick grass of late rainy season. |

 A NEW CHURCH
from the Schmidts, missionaries in North Thailand
God has broken through what seemed to us like overwhelming spiritual barriers in Mae Phrao village, and after 10 years or more of evangelism and outreach there, a small group of Christians developed into a church. This fall, a building team of MB church members from Rapid City, South Dakota, Harvey, North Dakota, and Corn, Oklahoma helped construct a church building, and even harvested rice in between to help one of our Khmu pastors. Praise God with us for the amazing things he has done and is doing through the lives and in the hearts of His people!
