Another great Sunday

Sunday was another busy and blessed day. I had the wonderful opportunity again to share at Immanuel Baptist in the early morning service. I preached on Psalm 22 and the parallels with the crucifixion. I talked about how Jesus had to be separated at that moment from the Father in order to receive the punishment for our sins. (that is Pastor Winit translating)



I found out last week that the church has a new outreach going. A few weeks ago they started a Christian community radio station. Recently, they began to advertise free English classes at the church. The response has been huge. So, after the main service I teach English for one hour at the church. Yesterday we had around 20 people come. We will be inviting the students to come earlier and check out the church service and have lunch with us.

After that, I travel with the group down to the Baring community. I was informed on the way down that I would play the role of King Solomon in a drama for the kids. I am not sure that I got my lines quite right, but I think they got the point.

The team then played games with the kids while I taught an English lesson for the adults. One of the games they do involves the kids eating a bunch of foods and then blowing into a plate full of flour. It makes for good fun and good pics.



Son and Ting did a magic show for the kids. Their big finale was Ting said he would pull a rabbit out of his hat. What he pulled out was a notecard with the word "rabbit" written on it.



Finally, here is shot of all the kids from yesterday.

I'm glad you made it back alright and I'm thrilled to hear that the Lord's been opening doors for you at this church.
The rabbit trick was cute...I'm sure the kids loved it.
Take care man and good luck with the English class.
