We went to church with Pamela and Patrick. They have 3 services--4000 worshippers at each service. We heard the most powerful speaker who had lost his legs to polio at age 5. The elders in the tribe came to ask his mother if they could take him into the bush to be left to die. She refused and raised him as she did his 11 sibllings with strong self-image. He had no education and started school at age 21--he now has his PHD. He was full of laughter and good humor describing his trials. The church is focusing its ministry on the handicapped. The only odd thing was that there was no mention of Palm Sunday.

Wayne and Betsy, I'm really appreciating your blog which is helping update us here in Australia of the current position at MCC. Do you know the name of the lady from Australia who visited, and her contact details? I'd really like to follow up on that.
