The Brock's Current Events
1. We are working with a colleague in Pretoria on storying
materials. They are new and doing a very good job. These materials will be
used to train Sunday School teachers to tell Bible stories in a chronological
order and lead people to Christ in the process. They are also working on a
Bible story set for helping people consider how their sexual sins are spreading
AIDS.
2. We are being asked to work with a colleague in Bethlehem with materials
in Sesotho to
be used in evangelism and discipleship of workers on the farms in the area.
We are planning a trip down so that we can help him and the Pastors that
work with him evaluate some of our materials. Pray for our safe travel and
for wisdom in how to advise them.
3. We are working on inventorying a storage room of materials of various
literature so that
missionaries who need it can begin to use it. It will require a large amount
of time to organize and then get the materials to the missionaries that need
it.
4. Jim was asked to sett up a web page for the Southeastern
Africa Cluster
of missionaries. He will be working with our Cluster leadership to help better
communicate the needs in our area.
5. We are continuing to sort and organize our IPS files to maintain literature
and make it available for as many missionaries as can use it in their ministries.
Please pray for the project with Alabama Baptist Churches as we seek people
to help us process all these materials.
6. We have been asked to do some
additional Portuguese translation and publications work for the country of
Angola. As a
result, we
had to to move forward and replace the older crashed computer immediately.
We could not have done that without the help of Calvary Baptist Church in Warrior,
Alabama.
We have now been asked to do a Gospel of John in Portuguese. This will be a
major
task.
7. 
Paige
completed her study of the African Bushbuck. She did a habitat
preference study. We have just received word that her paper will be published
in the next issue of the South African Journal of Wildlife Research.
It is the most
prestigious professional wildlife journal in Africa.The
only
thing
her mother & I worried about was what she ate and what might eat her. Paige said
it was interesting when you realized that the prints in the dirt road you walked
every day were 4 inches wide and made by a very large leopard.
The medical work done on Jim's right arm went well. Almost all the pain
is gone and he has full usage. Please
also continue to remember Jim's heart. After 5 EKG's(ECG's), several blood
enzymes, 2 stress tests and a cardiac sonogram, the verdict is that he will
have to live
with it.
We are now living in a place where can really get mail. Imagine that!
We even have an address. P.O. Box 1759, Edenvale 1610, Rep. of South Africa.
Please remember us in your prayers.
