Faith Update

kidsClub Saturday and Sunday were packed with activity. We had around 45 in Club on Saturday and our team got annihilated in competition. I got in trouble with one of our leaders because I mentioned in my blog a couple of weeks ago that her team had latrine duty. So, Damares (Red team), this is for you, THE RED TEAM WON on Saturday!

Later Saturday, as a special Teen activity, we traveled to Calvary Baptist Church to spend time with their youth group. It was a flash-back of sorts for me as we spent time with several kids that were a part of the group when we ministered there back in 1998/99. Our teens loved the fun.

Sunday’s Sunday school saw our biggest number yet at 45 with 25 of those in my Junior’s class. That afternoon our new members signed the membership book and we had our first communion service!

I preached on being a part of the family of God and after the service I was privileged to lead Lydia Sara to the Savior. She had asked Jesus to be her Savior as a seven-year-old but knew in her heart that she had made that decision to please her friends.

On Monday I began my entrance into school ministry by completing a small maintenance project in the building. During that project I was able to talk for a few minutes with Alex. He was in the principal’s office again. I’ll visit him today! Thank you for your prayers and financial support.

Entertaining Angels

Hebrews 13:1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Hospitality is a gift. It can also be a learned trait. Some people seem as if having strangers in their homes is normal and natural. Others have to fight against themselves in order to have friends over for a meal.  The author of Hebrews says that some have entertained angels when they thought that they were helping a stranger. That's weird. This statement brings questions to mind. Do angels eat? Of course, silly, they eat angel food cake!  Seriously, who in the Bible entertained angels by accident? Well, how about Abraham, Lot or Jacob? Granted, Jacob's treatment of the Angel of the Lord was questionable. But he did wrestle the night away, when in fact that angel could have dislocated Jacob's hip early in the match.  Abraham, read Sarah, prepared a big meal and Lot had to offer ...

Daughter and dog...

About six months ago we discovered that Ann was pregnant and were very excited for she and Jackson. We will have babies on this side and that of the Atlantic. We weren't prepared for that news and we we were even less prepared for the news that our little dog is pregnant. To date we have spent more on the dog than on Annie (don't tell her... Ann that is). Ann has yet to discover whether her baby is a boy or girl. Both ultrasound images were inconclusive. Though I did some further investigation of my own and was startled with what I found. to me it looks as if the baby is definitely a boy and has some resemblance from both sides of the family. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.

The Twenty Buck Challenge

Well I went and done it! That's bad grammar I know. But I done it anyway. We've been having a Bible study with Esmano and Genesie and their two kids Jennifer and Jadson, for about seven weeks now. This week Jennifer threw out a challenge. "Let's memorize a verse!" I thought that was a great idea. I told them that if they did memorize the verse that I would give them each an American coin. Esmano, their dad usually sits in on the study but he hasn't really been a part of it. When I mentioned the coin idea his eyes lit up a little. I then reached into my wallet and said, "If YOU memorize that verse I'll give you $20 bucks! His eyes really lit up then! Was it a good idea? I doubt it. No one has ever offered me money for memorizing verses. However, this will be the first verse that this man has ever memorized. If he does it. It is not a conventional way of doing memory work and it could cost me a bill for nothing. But if God uses this simple chall...
