Day of Rest and Play
Today we had an
incredible day worshiping with our brothers and sisters at Lord of
Harvest church. They sing and praise Jesus with loud enthusiasm and
great fervor! After worship, as he was getting ready to get up and to
deliver the sermon, Pastor Bernard turned to Jeff and Steve and asked
them if they would give their testimony and the sermon for him. The good
news is that both guys had prepared sermons and stories to share before
we went today (just in case Pastor Bernard was inspired to ask them to
step in!) And after 30 seconds of quick preparation, Jeff shared his
testimony and Pastor Steve preached a great sermon, with translation
help from Blesie, one of the staff here at Sankey. It was wonderful to
see all the familiar faces there at the church and to see all of their
improvements and remodel to the church building that were in progress
the last time we visited.
After church we
headed to the mall for lunch, a bit of shopping, and access to the
wireless network. A few folks got to speak or text their families, which
was a super treat.
For our afternoon
festivities, we taught the kids how to play bunco. What a riot! The kids
and staff caught on super fast- and we had a great time rolling the
dice, screaming with laughter, and competing for the coveted bunco. We
took a great a little break for dinner and are now getting ready to head
back to the gym for games with the kids and some craft time making
Valentine's Day cards for the staff and teachers here at Sankey.
We
are headed out for a full day of Medical Missions tomorrow. It looks to
be a very busy day at one of the larger churches- so please pray for
enough supplies, energy, and love for everyone we see tomorrow!
