The Zika virus outbreak is getting worse . Even Time magazine is reporting on the spread of this disease.
I feel run down today and may have something. Pray for those of us who serve the Lord in the tropics. There is a lot of stuff here that is not much fun to catch.
Why Puerto Rico Presents Real Challenges in Fighting Zika
Puerto Rico: The Back Door for Reaching the US Spanish Speaking Population. Our ministry is Church planting and training men and women for Christian service at Puerto Rico Baptist College. We are reaching people here, who immigrate and reach others in Spanish speaking communities across our nation.

Cross Walk
Our town of Comerio, Puerto Rico installed a lighted cross on one of the highest hills outside of town. It is a custom for Catholic church members to hike up that steep hill every year and pray at the cross.
The road is much steeper than any road would be in the US. Since there is never any snow or ice here, they can build roads at a much steeper angle.
They do that, plus some.
The missionary I worked with before did not like crosses on our churches. He was afraid it would identify us with the Catholics.
But, a Puerto Rican asked me in a puzzled voice: "You are Baptists? What is that? Is it like Buddhists or something?"
I think I we might be better off with a cross than without one.
