bananas are growing!

Hello everyone,

This Andrea Johnson, Tom and Andrea’s friend. I called them last week and got a good update from them. They are still waiting on some final paperwork and other things to get their shipment. The Gambia is a very corrupt country so if you are not willing to pay bribes you have to wait a long time to get what you want. They said they are doing well back in Bansang and that they have half the plantation planted with bananas, so that is keeping them both busy. They have two dogs now that are going to serve as watchdogs on the land. Andrea told me that they are very healthy for the most part but we could pray for their health to stay that way. She also told me about the spiritual warfare that is going on there. There are people that are “falling down” and it is getting worse and worse, please pray for the stronghold of evil in this town would be broken and people would find the comfort they need in God. They are praying a lot and feeling led to help start a program in west Africa like Gospel for Asia (www.gfa.org) to help support the local Christians to go out in their country to their people and tell them about the hope and life they have in Christ. Please pray that God would make this clear to them and lead them in the right steps to bring this opportunity to the people of The Gambia and West Africa.
