June 2013 Council Agenda - International Pentecostal Holiness ...

Since not much time has elapsed between the last WMM Council meeting and this one, there are
some places that, obviously, I have not been able to visit. I have, however, been in touch with all
of our regions in Africa with the exception of North Africa. Having lost our interpreter in Egypt
earlier this year, it has become very difficult for me to communicate with them. The
communication that we have with them, at the moment, is through our People to People office.
At this time, this is a very dangerous part of the world, and I know that our churches would
really appreciate our prayers for them.
AREA REPORTS – EAST AFRICA
Directly following our Dallas Leadership meeting, I visited with Ron and Sharon Wooten in
Kenya and then joined Lauren Pickens and the Southern Sudan team in Kapoeta. This team was
well prepared with mostly medical professionals. Although we had only one doctor, we had
several nurse practitioners who examined patients as well. Russell, the husband of one of the
nurse practitioners, who was not a Christian, not only gave his heart to the Lord on this trip but
was also baptized in water. Needless to say, the nurse practitioner, Sarah, was very happy, about
her husband’s conversion experience and felt that the investment that was made on this trip was
well worth it.

Greg McClerkin was busy completing a dormitory-administrative office building at the Kapoeta
compound. We have been discussing a name for the building and have decided on naming it in
honor of Philip List. While we were there, we also had the opportunity to lay out the foundations
of a new missionary residence. These foundations have now been poured, and the walls are
underway.
