i am going to be brief today, as i am sporting a brace which is intended to help calm a pinched ulnar nerve, but right now mostly seems intended to annoy. Yes, I am complaining, but the pain has lessened a lot just in the 24 hours I've been wearing the thing, so I guess I should shut up about it now. :-)
I hope that some of you were able to join the crowd for lunch with Mike and Brigit Adams. Mike and Brigit have been serving with Far East Broadcasting Company for more than 20 years, and Mike grew up at First Presbyterian Bellevue! It was really amazing to hear the path God has had them on for the last 5 years, especially.
Following the Aceh Tsunami in 2005, Mike and some of the other FEBC folk saw the need for a First Response radio group within the FEBC organization. This is a group that provides radio training and radio stations--built into two small suitcases and a manageably sized box, no less--to areas that have been hit by natural disasters. The stories were wonderful. God is using them mightily to get word out about safety, fresh water, and other important information so important to the victims of natural disasters. They are bringing comfort and real help to people who are in dire need. How cool that after fifteen years of serving in one situation God showed them a new need and they went for it.
Mike and Brigit will be with us at FPCB for a couple of months, and their daughter Colleen will be with us through the spring. If you have the chance to chat with any of this God-fueled family, take it! It is so good to see what God is doing through their lives, and fun to think that FPCB has been a supporter throughout their careers with FEBC.
