Last night was extended night of prayer at the ministry. It was so exciting and encouraging to me when two men from my Frisco church attended. Since I was running the projection system/power points, I didn't get to spend much time with them.

Brian, one of our office staff members who just returned from India, shared as part of prayer meeting last night. He mentioned the statistic we quote of "over 500,000 villages in India that have never heard the name of Jesus." He said the number is so big, it is just a statistic to us. But a fraction of it became real to Brian during this trip. The team was driving out of a major city and as they drove along the main road, they passed village after village after village after village with hardly any land between them. Brian first thought that the abundance of villages was because of their location on the main road. But shortly, the vans turned down a dirt sidepath. And they passed village after village after village after village... 500,000 villages in India that have never heard the name of Jesus.

I went yard saling this morning. Saling? Sale-ing? Selling? Any way, I went to look at stuff people were selling on their yards. Picked up an O-Reilly book on Apache and sendmail. Started talking to the guy selling them. God opened up the opportunity for us to converse about "religion" for almost an hour. At the end of the conversation, he said: "It's not very often that you have a conversation about religion and even less often that two people have a civilized conversation about religion. Thank you." Please pray for Christian. He's not searching. But he wasn't antagonistic. But he still needs God.

So much for this really long post. I'm going to go play volleyball.
