WHERE WAS MAM
during Tsunami?
GLTC STUDENTS RESPOND WITH
THE ANSWER
By Dr. Patricia Bailey
There is one thing that can be said of our God that is undis-
putable...He is an all knowing and wise God. His omniscience is what
entitles Him the attribute of eternal foreknowledge, divine wisdom, and
the ultimate ability to order out steps.
Long before the Tsunami ever hit South East Asia, the missionary
trainees of GLTC
were already prepared
to be deployed to
South East Asia. Our
departure date is
January 24th from Los
Angeles California into
Malaysia for a mission
in Penang a village

mission is into Sri
Lanka which was hit
extremely hard, over
10,000 killed and
800,000 were affected
as a result.
