the big green machine

Well, the tractor has officially made its last pass on the Sunbury grounds.  Yes indeed, it has died and there is no hope of repair.  So now your prayers are more necessary that ever.  

The tractor did the majority of the mowing, when it was working.   So now what?  Well the counsel has agreed to allow us, those at Sunbury, to try to raise funds for a commercial lawn mower. I'm not sure what they cost in the US but here we are looking at 70,000 rand here (that's $10,000 in U.S. currency.)  

So now you can see that this will take the hand of God working through his people.  I know that He is able and willing to provide. In the mean time we, the men, will be mowing with the small mowers (we have 3, two electric and one gas, not self propelled either :().   It is overwhelming, the grounds cannot be completely mowed between camps and the grass is still growing way to fast.   

So once again we ask for your prayers, we are told that the fervent prayers of the righteous accomplish much we have seen this to be true over and over again. It will be this time as well.
