It seems that "Da Vinci" garbage is sweeping a biblically ignorant America off her feet; fortunately, there are churches rising to the occasion to point people back to the Word of God and the God of the Word. I'm appalled by the way people have "forgotten God and are trying to use broken cisterns which hold no water" to find truth :-(

Plenty of free 'Da Vinci' resources available for Christians. 

Last week I mentioned a growing church in my home county that has taken the "bull" by the horns; in fact, our hometown paper even gave them coverage! Be sure to visit to see what I mean. Thanks for staying true to the Word, Darryl!

The Wednesday Weekly celebrates its fourth year of deliveries Monday, May 29. Some of you have been with us from the beginning while others are receiving their first issue. How grateful we are for each one of you :-) Be sure to invite a friend to pray for us by pointing them to https://acts82640.tripod.com/ where they can sign up and even read that first knee-mail :-)

<>< Scott was asking for an extra measure of grace as he juggled volunteers' changing schedules with things "already in stone," especially that conflicts would be minimal...whew, what a week! I could tell it was your intercession that kept things stable, and I appreciate your focused prayers.

<>< Shirin asked that the volunteers would supplement her witness to the girls at the Girls Home in Bethany, especially that there would be discipling opportunities from their witnessing in word and deed...Shirin writes, "We had a great time doing crafts and watching a karate demonstration. The girl have been studying karate for a year and were able to share some of their metal winning moves with the volunteers. The karate team openly shared the gospel with the girls and workers. We know that God's word does not come back void."

<>< Jasmine asked that you'd pray for her classmates to come to school so she could tell them more about Jesus... Jasmine says, "Some of them have been coming, and some have not. Most listen."

<>< Pray for Scott's "well being" as he tries to tie up loose ends before getting ready to pack for Stateside Assignment (STAS).

<* Pray for the Southern Pushtan Afghani of Pakistan.><
