Walker Update - June 2008

After 2.5 restful weeks in Indonesia and ten days of that with family, we are preparing to go back to Dhaka, Bangladesh next week for another 2-3 months,

Pray that we'll have a productive week preparing for workshops we'll be giving next month. We are at the beach , combining work with some exercise and low stress living before we return to Dhaka, where it is quite stressful to live. We also desire to draw closer to the Lord while we have this uniterupted time. We are responding to very few emails and doing some helpful reading.

This morning we had an upsetting experience. A strange man entered the resort on a motorcycle, came and sat down by Jeannie and began acting inappropriately. Remembering how the Burnams were abducted from a resort in the Philippines and we being a region known for it's fanatical Muslims, we have asked the owner of this place to improve security. We are not afraid for ourselves, but want to be prudent. Unfortunately, American policies and military action around the world are creating more terrorists than they are eliminating.

Please PRAY for Scotty and Heidi as they are on vacation, but just received news of problems in their program for the Fall semester that they need to deal with right away. They have been under a lot of stress in Papua and need some R&R before board meetings and gearing up the next semester. PRAY for wisdom for each of them.

Thanks for supporting us in pray and through your gifts.

Blessings,

Roland
