more from day 3

The second worship experience was at the main church where they meet in a large tent, which is where I will get ot preach next Sunday. It was also lively and full of joy, lots of great worship music, singing and dancing. They even sang a few songs in english (the first worship was all in the Tree dialect) that we knew. Pastor Markwei was amazing. I am more than a little intimidated following this guy. Afterwards we walked the property where they are building a 10,000 seat conference center that should be done in 3 years, total project $7M, completely debt free. amazing.

What an awesome experience this is for you both. I'm sure just in these first fews days you have been through a vast range of emotions based on the places you have visited to date.

I would love to tag along on the next trip, God willing. But are the mosquitos really as big as birds? :) I get huge reactions to little mosquito bites. :(

Praying for continued good health, safe travel and that you be open to all that God has planned for you. Be a sponge and absorb it all!

Blessings,
Kathy

Wow, you are having an experience you will never forget. I know you will be blessed just as much if not more by the children there as they are by you. What an awesome thing to be able to fly out of our US box and see what God is doing in parts of the world we only read about or see on TV news.
We will continue to pray for you that God would continue to reveal h
His will and purpose in your lives, and that He would be completely evident to those you touch. Molly and Bruce
