Sunday July 15 Preach at a church twice.

Monday July 16 - Friday July 20 Second five days teaching Vitality Therapy, concluded by giving certificates to those who successfully demonstrate application of the skills during a classroom role-playing combination of teaching and exam. Pray Dr. Gibson can keep the fun going even when it is also an exam.

Saturday July 21 Begin travel home, including one day in Bali as tourist.

Tuesday July 24 5:30 am Arrive O’Hare. Begin merging traffic with Ruth (Dr. Gibson's wife) and recover from jet lag. Integrate the life-changing experiences from the trip with life in Wheaton.

Points for prayer:

  1. Clearness of mind in teaching
  2. Flexibility to schedule the unexpected
  3. Sweetness of spirit to uplift these brothers and sisters in Christ
  4. Soundness of bodily health
  5. Unbroken tenderness with God at every moment
  6. Defeat of the spiritual forces of darkness that are giving Dr. Gibson a sense of foreboding as he prepares to leave.
  7. Ideas for how to raise the money needed to replace counseling income while Dr. Gibson is away serving people who cannot pay him. He is thinking of forming a non-profit Vitality Therapy Institute to receive contributions from people who can free him for my new career as a missionary.

Next trips:

Costa Rica August 31-September 15
Ecuador December 2-15.
