The Everly Brothers first sang this song in 1958, and we're echoing it today.

Here
are a few of the problems that we're living through here at WAAST.
Where do we put all these people? The “Hoosier Dorm” is
almost finished thanks in great part to the generosity of many
Indiana churches. Last year we already had more than enough
students to fill this and all the other dorms. We are expecting
similar numbers this year.
What about all these new churches? Local churches continue to
multiply in the region as tens of thousands are added to the Kingdom
each month. The growth has been so fast that many churches have no
permanent meeting place and thousands of them have no pastor.
Each one of these churches is praying that God will provide an
effective leader. The need for training Spirit-filled leaders is more Countries We
urgent than ever before! Now Serve

How do we help all these people? Several countries have been asking us to
help them begin WAAST extension centers in addition to the ones we already have
in Togo, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon,
Angola, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and Rwanda. How can we answer the call “Please
come and help us”?
Where do we put all these people II? We are in
the middle of a building program at the WAAST
International Chapel. We were hoping by tripling our
capacity we would be able to return to one service on
Sunday mornings. The problem? As God pours out
His Spirit, the church is growing so fast that we
already have too many people to return to one service
—and the construction is only about halfway through!
Sunday morning attendance is between 2200 and Overflow Sunday Morning Crowd
2500, with an estimated 2 million others listening by
Radio Jesus Loves You!
Where are all the staff? As we continue to deal with all these wonderful
problems, we are severely understaffed. Please pray the Lord of the harvest to send
more missionaries into His field here. Be prepared to see His answer to your
prayers as you look in the mirror!
How can we adequately say “Thank you!” for keeping us here through
your prayers and giving? Just saying “Thank You” seems inadequate for the
privilege you've given us to serve here and be a part of such blessed problems. May
God bless you for your continuing faithfulness!
