The day is not over with….we are going to 1 more church to teach. It will be a late night, but we are going for it.
It was a very emotional day because of going to the leper colony. As far as I am concerned, just going to the leper colony would have been worth this whole trip – just to see all of their face smiling after we left. Truly just our presence communicates God cares. As they took pictures I cried and felt their hurt. We gave rice, 20lb with oil and 2 other liquids. I prayed for Gods blessing on their life. I told them that God had not forgotten them – that is why he sent us to them. When we left they had big smiles on their faces and all together said thank you in English.
Went also to a Bible school in back of a church. They had to sneak us in and out. Saw a girl in Sunday School quoting a whole chapter out of bible. She was about 10 years old. I raised my hand and said hallelujah and they responded.
Attended a church about 30 people – govrt sanctioned…..with kids there are 100 total. They need outside resources of Bible Teaching – like CDs.
The Koreans have had an influence here also.
I hope that our presence alone was enough to know God cares and is aware.
All the people smiled and were very friendly. The “thumbs up” sign seems to be the universal language of – good job, we like it, keep up the good work.
This pastor here lost his first wife 3 yrs ago, but has remarried. He built a church in his home where people can live there in an attic to stay there while going to bible school.
God help me to have a love for your Word as much as I have seen here today. May my lifestyle be one that reflects my heart to reach the world.
Going further out they have good infrastructure….roads, electricity, stop lights. More police outside of city. Drove way out into countryside……dirt road but houses have electricity.
Jesus is the light was the sign at this home church…..are about 30 people who worship here. They listen to a CD from pastor Long and Van’s husband who is from the USA.
We had lunch here. Dennis and I ate about 5 or 6 bites and gave our food to these 3 poor families we visited and prayed for.
Walked a mile thru the jungle to get back to our vehicle. Lots of rubber trees all of them tapped and producing. The French brought them in.
