One evening as I came home it was raining. A motorcycle in front of us wanted to make a sharp turn. The man on the motorcycle had his hands busy with his raincoat or something so he casually stuck out one leg to indicate he was turning. Two miracles then occurred,-first, he had supreme faith that the other motorists would understand, and the second miracle, they did understand! A leg stuck out is as good as a hand it seems!
As this is "deep in summer" the children from the Children's Compound are already at the Ban-li Christian Conference Grounds having their real vacation. There are about 150 in this first group. We have to pray especially hard that no one will get hurt or drowned. As we feel that Ban-li was given directly by the Lord to the children I am sure He has angels watching there too!
You will remember I told you that we were turning part of the Pescadore Children's Home into a Student Hostel for girls from the outer islands. Forty girls have already applied to come, eagerly, jubilantly, their first chance to have more education.
"If you are planning for one hundred years, build a school." I guess the auxiliary to that is "or make it possible for the young people to come where the schools are." As people living on the outer islands are mostly fishermen and very poor, we will need sponsors for these girls. But I believe that the Lord, Who opened the door and made it possible for them to have a chance, will also open the hearts of people to help them too. It is not a bad thing to have a project together with the Lord,-in fact, it is thrilling.
