Another Village Evangelist Added to the Team

We have added the 6th village preacher.  We have been watching Yoeli for a couple of years.  He has done as much as any of the supported guys for the last two years.  He dresses and grooms himself like he is more prosperous than most.  His Indonesian is excellent.  He is translating this week for the women who are teaching in Malay (to Nias).  He has been to Malaysia at least once and is going again in July to visit a friend.  He went to Sibolga sometime since I was here in January, visiting Nias people who have moved there, trying to help them get a church started.  We have never given him any support.   He has been to almost all the churches on Nias.  The only two people who have been to more are the two we sent on the survey looking for children's home children.  He is on a six month probationary period as we have had all the others on at first.  So your support is now going to two village preachers and the children's home supervisors.  I'll try to get you some pictures when I get home.
