    Ditto THAT!

    Rob...Ditto that about Bro.John's narrative. The fact that he is an experienced missionary AND a skilled translator makes what he has to say worth reading. We must keep him and his on-going work for the Lord in our prayers. Our adversary can't be happy about this kind of thing. Bro. John...I pray that God will put a hedge of protection around you!
