The chairs at church were nearly all occupied yesterday morning with both regulars and a few visitors. The man who led us in the worship service shared a few passages of scripture reminding us of the uncertainty of life. With the political upheaval and natural disasters filling the news it is so good to know that God is sovereign and lovingly extends His hand to all who suffer and yearn for peace. May the events of recent days cause many to seek God and accept His offer of forgiveness of sin and eternal life through simple faith in Jesus Christ.
School started back for the kids, including four round trips (walks) each day to get them to and from school each morning and afternoon. Cherith worked with another Sunday School teacher to replace the wall mural in the beginner class room at church last Tuesday. We made progress in planning meetings for home ministry and studying. Since we had the English Encounter on Thursday evening, we had that to prepare for as well (the house, refreshments and Bible study).
Praise for:
- God’s sovereignty and the salvation that He offers to all.
- the 7 that were at English Encounter this week and for a profitable time together.
- good attendance Sunday, and for the Lord’s help as we taught Sunday school classes on Sunday.
- the example and legacy of faith of Jonathan’s Dad whose Birthday would have been Saturday.
- the progress in scheduling meetings for home ministry.
- us to see and use the opportunities that God gives us this week to share His love and His Word with others.
- Jonathan as he prepares for and leads the Bible study Tuesday evening and preaches in both the French and Sango services this Sunday.
- for Cherith as she prepares and co-teaches Sunday School this Sunday as she works with training a new teacher.
- our pastor and his wife as they are away visiting family on a long-awaited vacation.
- God’s blessing and direction as we continue to set up meetings with our supporting churches for home ministry.
- all of the hurting families in Japan and that many would turn to Christ in this tumultuous time.
- preparations for the week that the students from the Algrange Baptist Bible Institute will spend with our church at the end of this month.
