This was quite a day...We're not sure how to reduce it into a blog entry, or how to select only a few pictures. I know that I personally can't begin to do the day justice in a paragraph. We spent the day at the Church, working with children, feeding and serving, and concluding with a special presentaion service that was amazing. The attendence has tripled since last night now. Everyone has done so well...not only in terms of adjusting to everything, but considering it's such a humbling and overwhelming experience to be here. I'm gonna get out of the way and let you hear from a couple of others...enjoy the pictures. Each one has a story of it's own...take care....Chuck
Peggy here...This whole trip has been an awesome experience. I really don't have the words to describe anything we have experienced except for awesome! The worship has blessed me so tremendously, that I feel like I need more to give. The smiles, the anointing, the move of the Holy Spirit is just more than I can contain...I am truly overflowing! I taught a group of kids 10 and under this afternoon. They were like a sponge...absorbing the word of God into their hearts. I taught them a song and a game and they also taught me a song and a game. Several of us also helped today with serving lunch. I wish we had more to give. All I can say is more Lord...more Lord!!!
Hey everyone, this is Denny. Wow where to begin? What a day. I do believe from the moment we got here I have been on the verge of tears. I never believed I would be impacted the way this country, culture and these people have impacted me. I knew we were coming to minister to them but I never anticipated they would minister to me in so many ways. There worship is unbelievable, when you walk in the room you are smacked in the face with the presence of God. Today we had are first real quality time with the children, Indescribable is what comes to mind. There faces glow and they soak up everything we say and do. If we left today I could say I was changed greatly and totally complete, but Thank God we have 3 more days. I can't wait. Well we really do miss everyone and wish you could all be here. Love you Marissa and Maddy! Denny
I am moved to tears to look at the pictures and read how moved you all are (even though it is so hard to put it into words). Of course, part of me is wishing I was there - but I know there will be a next time.

To all:
ReplyDeleteMy heart yearns to be with you. More than anything I would love to be standing next to Lynette, Helen and Peggy in the serving line.The pictures so beautifully share the great work that has already been done. The lifetime bonds that are being formed are evident in each photo. I am so proud of our youth! They will never be the same. I was also touched by the photo of Randy, and I was wondering what Scripture he was sharing. I am praying that you continue to be as blessed as you are today!
The Word says spirit knows no distance and this is so evident in these pix and what you have written. My heart is overwhelmed at seeing the pix of the children especially. The pix of all the children and Danny and Susan's pix with the little ones made me cry. I wish I was with you. I would have been right at home in that serving line! Praying for you all that God would enlarge your hearts and pour more of His anointing upon you all! Tell Lynette I am making copies and taking them to her Dad so he can see and read it all. Blessings! Gloria
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are amazing! I'm sure you will all be full of wonderful stories when you return, we can't wait to hear them. I just love seeing the pics of the children. They are all so beautiful. You are in our prayers! Susie&Jeff
