This month has been a crazy month. We have been at one ministry, but our focus has changed quite a bit each week.
The first week we were resting a bit, and chopping wood, 3380 pieces of it to be precise. We also had to make sure that every one of those pieces of wood could stand upright on one end.
The second and third weeks we were working with a short-term group from Germany and Russia. We cleaned up a Jewish graveyard here in Bitola, to honor those buried there, and also honor their descendants, who can no longer take care of the graves. The descendants were 3380 Jews taken out of Bitola on a single day in 1943, to never come home. They all died in extermination camps in Poland. We were cleaning the graveyard to help with the extension of repentance for past sins, and also to show that the love of God is healing hearts. We also took part in a presentation where some of the family names of those taken were read, and the wood we had chopped was set upright. Each piece of wood represented one Jew taken to Poland. It was an incredible honor to stage this event with Germans, Russians, Poles, and Macedonians.
After the short-term team left, we spent a few days in rest and adventure to recover from the fast pace of the short term schedule.
This last week we did street evangelism in Bitola and Resen, another town about 45 minutes from Bitola. We have met incredible people, and take to some very interesting individuals. We would spend about an hour in prayer, then go to one spot in the city with guitars, bibles, and God. We would stay there for a few hours, talking with people who walked by us, and walking up and down the streets talking with people.
The constant changes in schedule and activities have been exhausting, but we are still alive, and God is still working through us!
Europe has been fun! On the Africa!!
