Dear All,

It has been a week since our school was closed by the minister of education
in Guinea. She is reportedly a hard line Muslim, a Madam Barry.

We did not have internet for nearly a week. I seem to be able to connect
now, so I will send everyone a quick update. Pardon me for not using the
blind carbon copy. When I do that about half the emails get bounced back.

Pastor Joshua went down to Conakry along with Mr. Benjamin and met with
ministry officials and other Christians leaders last week and began the
process to re-open our school. They returned and are waiting for results.
Please continue to pray for the re-opening of our school.

The bureaucracy works very slowly hear especially if we do not grease it,
which we will not do as Christians.

The words of Jeremiah have been an encouragement, "For I know the plans
I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future." (Jer 29:11)

Thank you for all your prayers and support. Pastor Joshua and I recovering
from nagging colds.

Please do continue to pray for strength and guidance. We will keep you up
dated as events unfold here.

In the Lord, brother Chris
