Pray for Dave in Senegal: Day 3 - May 16

By

What happens today depends on what we got done on Wednesday. Whatever prep and setup didn't get done on Wednesday has to get done today. Hopefully, I got a good night's sleep! Alioune and I will head out to Dioher and set up our home for the week at Jean Batiste and Isabelle's home.

They are wonderful people, and their home is among the nicest in Dioher, but it has no running water and no electricity. The bathroom in a hole in the cement out back. I love these people but I am concerned about living in this kind of rough condition after my health problems last year.

I would appreciate your prayers. I believe I can handle walking in the villages and all of that, but dealing with the living conditions will be a challenge.

I do look forward to eating mangos, which should be in season right now!

Please pray for my health, which is a concern on this trip.

   Reading the Bible Chronologically in 2024 This year, instead of reading from Genesis to Revelation, we will read the Bible as the story flows, as it happened and was written. There are several plans out there and I have worked to combine them into a plan that lets the Bible tell its own story "as it happened."  Remember, the Bible is inspired, but not in the order the books appear in our Bibles.   The Old Testament is approximately 3/4 of the Bible, but we will give more emphasis to the New Testament, spending half the year in the Old Testament and half in the New.  Bible Readings :   Numbers 31-36 Background:    We wrap up our reading of Numbers today with another difficult reading. Chapter 31 tells of a war with Midian and then the journeys of Israel are recounted in detail. The boundaries of the Promised Land are spelled out - far larger than modern Israel. Then we read of the founding of the cities of refuge and the inheritance of Zelo...

He had great churches like Philippi and Ephesus, who brought him constant joy, who demonstrated the fruit of the Spirit and a passion for the gospel. He had the Bereans who searched the Scriptures to see if what he preached was true. He started churches in Thess...

This is the prayer that the Lord prayed the night before he died, pouring out his heart to the Father on behalf not only of his disciples but for all of us who would follow. Daily Devotional:   He Prayed for ME! The night before Jesus died, just before he agonized in the Gard...
