You sure have your work cut out for you over there. I guess pornography is rampant everywhere. If only they knew that Jesus will be coming before long they may be changing their minds. Are there any Christian Churches over there? I know in a lot of countries the Catholic Church is very prevelant. Hurry up and get there soon so you can get there before them.
I know without a doubt that you all are going to be sucessful and be able to reach the people. God is watching out for all of you and you have many prayers going up for you.
Luv & Prayers,
Norma
