Hi,
Would you please remember my cousin in your prayers. He's a Roman Catholic
priest in the Maryknoll missionary order. He is stationed in the area of
Bengladesh (spelling?) that was hit by the tidal wave and we haven't heard
from him yet. And also pray for all the other people hurt, homeless, or
killed, and for those working to help them.
He's quite a character. He is a first cousin. When he attended Seattle
University he lived with us. Prior to going to Bengladesh he spent the
last 6 (or was it 9) years in the Phillipines, teaching God's Love and
farming. The Communists there hated him so much, since he taught the
people how to be independent farmers instead of rifle carrying killers,
that they offered anyone who killed him a reward. So there he
was running all over the back country on his little Honda, and not one
person tried to hurt him. And these people are poor, very poor. But
rich in God's Love, partly through the hard work of my cousin and that
of many other missionaries of other Christian faiths. He never left the
Phillipines during his entire assignment there for a single
vacation. He thought the money could be put to better use.
Every Christmas we received a form letter, with a short personal hand
written note, in which he asked for money for the missions. Interesting
guy.
Thank you for your prayers. You might also mention my aunt and uncle,
Bob's parents, who are really worried right now.
God Bless,
Mike Andrews
