Had a great day today seeing Windhoek. It has the greatest
discrepency in income distribution - from richest to poorest. And we
say both extremes. The poorest reminds me of Monterrey, Mexico, where
the squatters were living in a dump. That is so similar here. The
President's new Statehouse makes the White House look like kinda a
garage. I did get to sit in the Speaker of the Parliment"s seat for a
few moments today. I had Namibian power for a few moments.
Last night's teaching and subsequent response was one of the most
powerful I have ever experienced. We talked about godly character and
dealt with the story of Joseph, then Samuel (1 Sam 12) and then the
qualifications for leaders found in 1 Timothy. Several men during our
discussion shared with the congregation about how difficult it is to
stay sexually pure, that it is a hard struggle. It was the honesty
that was being shared that you knew God was dealing with peoples'
hearts.
We will be meeting tomorrow with the leaders to discuss what they can
do when we leave. They know something very special is happening this
week and want to continue the leading of the Lord. Wow,Wow,Wow!!!
We are doing well. It gets down to freezing at night and when homes
don't have heat, it gets chilly. Fortunately, there are warm blankets
to put on you.
