The tsunami of 2004 was the result of the second strongest earthquake ever recorded. The province of Aceh in Indonesia was the hardest hit area of any in southeast Asia. Over 125,000 Acehnese were killed and that many more were missing. Compassion Frisco was formed as a humanitarian agency to work among the tsunami survivors. Mayor Simpson and the city council sent a proclamation to the mayor of Banda Aceh declaring our city's sympathy, and affirming Compassion Frisco as an organization wanting to provide long term service with partners there. Compassion Frisco was birthed out of Preston Trail Community Church. Over the past four years teams have gone to work with partners on the ground there in wholistic community development, empowering women, medical care, trauma counseling and athletics. For the next two weeks John Taylor and Dudley Raymond will be in Aceh to oversee the installation of complex playground equipment to be installed in a new park in Banda Aceh. The equipment was bought and shipped to Aceh from the states. Pray for them in these efforts.

Sunday,

We went to Vaughn's house for worship service on Sunday morning. It was wonderful to meet with fellow believers from several countries at his home. I was amazed at Vaughn's wife Jenifer. She knew every verse to every song anyone wanted to sing. She had a lovely voice.

After church we went to Texas Chicken for lunch. It may be the first time that I have had rice with Fried Chicken. Not bad.

John chose to walk back and through the the parks. He toured the Tsunami Museum. Well more like he looked through the windows, it was closed. He met several people and had a great time.
