If you believe in prayer then please pray for God to intervene on the behalf of the pastors from up the river.  Their bus has broken down at the river and we have sent a truck out with spare parts and a mechanic to fix it.  That is only part of the challenge, the rest of the challenge is that some rebel groups have blocked the road to protest the government not taking care of them and providing services.  They may or may not let our pastors go by, so please pray that the bus will get fixed and that the rebels will let our pastors through.  We are excited, have spent the day preparing, and can't wait to get started with these guys.  If they show up at 4:00 AM they are going to need to sleep so the first rule of missions is being flexible and we are living by that rule.  We will know more tomorrow!
