And your old men will dream dreams...

I woke at 1am, with a strong sense that God had just spoken to me clearly through two dreams.

I'm not used to that happening, and I was somewhat disturbed, especially since the meaning of the dreams was itself disturbing. In one, we were building a bridge, and Someone was trying to stop our work, and setting the Christians against one another.

I went outside to pray. It was a dark and moonless night, and the rain had just stopped. Wiping the sleep from my eyes, I began pacing across the yard, praying as I went.

And bumped into Pierre.

I grabbed Pierre and told him my dreams. He looked at me. Then he said: "my wife has just had a dream of two Christians fighting in a tree, and they fell..."

We spent an hour praying, and went to bed.

Later that day, Pastor Adama came to visit, and told us that his wife had had a dream that night of the Christians on a journey together, and a mob arriving to attack them.

We are encouraged. God is at work and he is speaking to us. If Someone is bothered, that's fine with us.

Please continue to pray.

Thank you.
