David fell in love with the people and offered to pioneer the work in that country for AWA. AWA had barely organized and had no money—no budgets for projects yet. But David didn't see that as an obstacle. He made a pact with God that he would serve in Guyana as long as God continued to supply the funding for 0 the needs of the ministry every month. David doesn't draw a salary, nor do those who work with him. His policy is to use all the funding God sends every month, not hoarding any for the next month, but trusting God to supply each successive month's needs. That forces him to follow God's lead. "Any time the money runs out and we can't pay expenses, I'll know the Lord is telling me it's time to get out," David says. Since June of 1997, David has been flying an AWA- sponsored airplane. While the plane was being prepared for service in Guyana and David was in Berrien Springs waiting for it to be completed, he began attending Melchizedek "Melchi" Ponniah's Sabbath school class in PMC with several other AWA members. The class members took him into their hearts and decided to adopt him and his mission work as their project, as have many others. David and his wife, also a nurse, started a medical program to improve the health of the villagers with mercy flights for critically-ill people to Davis Memorial Hospital, the Adventist hospital in Georgetown. Soon ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) asked him to be their director for Guyana. He agreed to do it, but on a AA volunteer basis. ADRA sponsored an anti-malaria program for the people. All this had a very positive effect on the David Gates and his family are living in western Guyana where Ovid E. Davis, pioneer missionary to the Arecuna and Akawaio tribes, is bur- ied.

The organization's president is Berrien Springs electrical contractor Don • Starlin, also a member of PMC. David and R.A. flew to Guyana a short time after AWA was organized to visit the villages in Region 7 in the northwestern corner of Guyana where the Davis Indians are located. Upon their return, they shared their experi- • ences with their colleagues in Berrien Springs.

The Perches married in 1990 and planned on starting a family. However, in 1991, Kimberly had to undergo laparoscopic surgery to remove cysts on her ovaries. During the procedure, doctors discovered small amounts of endometriosis, or scar tissue, on her ovaries, which is believed to have been a factor in two ensuing ectopic pregnancies (where the embryo implants in the fallopian tube rather than the uterus). As a result, one of Kimberly's fallopian tubes had to be surgically removed.

LAKE UNION HERALD, OCTOBER 1 998 • 29 To See the City: A True Story "We're almost there, guys! We're almost in the city!" Youth Three students saw its beauty from the bus's tinted window. It was Vienna, the capital of Austria. When the bus stopped, the restless three dashed from the station into this metropolis of Central Europe. They had i who made it to the city, and not by chance. 0 The three student missionaries—Amy, Isaac, and Vily—had just finished helping at a two-week day camp in Slovakia. They had seen dozens of kids come to Christ, and now they had one day to tour before leaving for America. They had an un- quenchable thirst to see Vienna, even though it seemed impossible. The city was only an hour away from their headquarters, but the Slovakian natives thought it was crazy to go see it. They said there wasn't enough time. But the three American travelers were resolute. They were ready to seize the day. 8:00 a.m. Snoring. 10:00 a.m. Finally up. 12:00 noon. Tried to find a ride to the city. 2:30 p.m. Nothing. 4:00 p.m. Still nothing. Discouragement began to distantly thunder in their minds. The day was "But now they desire a better, that is, almost over, and the more Amy, Isaac, a heavenly country. Therefore God is and Vily tried to find a way to Vienna, not ashamed to be called their God, for the more it seemed hopeless. But at He has prepared a city for them." the brink of giving up, when they were Hebrews 11:16. about to forget it all, there was a breakthrough. They found a way, on a bus! The three jumped in it as it roared off to one of the world's great cities of art, culture, and music. One hour later, Amy, Isaac, and Vily found themselves in Vienna. They set out on their journey downtown. As they strolled through the city park and then the narrow streets, they suddenly entered one of the spacious baroque squares. It was as if they had entered a dream of emperors and empresses, of Mozart, Schubert, and Beethoven. They walked in awe of the horse-drawn carriages and majestic statues. They couldn't believe their eyes! And if that wasn't enough, they soon entered the king's courtyard. It was surrounded with row upon row of magnificent palaces and towering steeples. As they stood gazing, it was as if they were robed in 18th-century charm and 19th-century grandeur. All the comforts of the modern world magically mingled with the spirit of the past. The stately palaces soon started to shadow. It was night. Two hours had flown by. Now it was time to head back. As Amy, Isaac, and Vily left the city, they were filled with satisfaction. They were also reminded of another city they needed to see—Zion, the celestial city of God, more beautiful than Vienna, Paris, London, and all the other beautiful cities in the world combined. With hearts filled, the three travelers determined that nothing would stop them from beholding its beauty.
