We arrived in Pak at 5am, with both of us to speak at the retreat beginning at 9:30a. But, at 5:30a, we heard this "BOOM" followed by another "BOOM", then another, and still more. One of our group said he saw flashes of light on a hill side near us. It was cannon fire! Fortunately, so we were told, it was "nothing significant" -- just the good ol' military boys doing a little "celebrating." Hope they enjoyed themselves... There were more than 30 blasts. So much for trying to get even a little bit of sleep before the conference...
The development workers we are meeting with really appreciated our first day of ministry. We even got to do a bit of singing (Henry brought his guitar) and Encounter-style "ministry of prayer." It was quite cool and powerful.
We're grateful that all of our luggage arrived. Though, one bag of jelly-bellys burst open and now I'm finding jelly beans in my shoes, socks, and other pieces of clothing I better not mention...
Please continue to pray for us as we serve these very committed and brave workers. And pray for them -- some of them are wondering if they are making any impact at all.
Blessings!
Kevin.

sounds like quite a welcome on your arrival-like a 21-gun salute. we'll be following your daily activities and our prayers are with your ministry. We also pray for the workers on the ground and they are few in number, they will make an impact.
Love mom and dad
Really awesome to hear about the "Encounter style" prayer time. I know God will give you many more incredible encounters as you follow his lead there. Be in the moment.
