Today, a technician came to the house late in the afternoon and was able to repair our internet service. It went down early Saturday morning. Today was the second day of medical clinics with simultaneous children's ministry being run at the same church. The construction team is progressing on the block walls of the bathroom addition to the Celebration Center. Needless to say, I have forgotten to take my camera to the past two days of clinics, but hopefully tomorrow night can get some pictures posted via team members memory cards. Our ministry day begins with breakfast at 6:30 a.m. and we leave the camp by 7:30 a.m. We have been returning back to the camp for dinner at 6:30 p.m. Following dinner we have team devotionals and "restock"; the medical team pulls additional medications for the next day and the children's ministry team reviews the next day's programming. We certainly sleep well! Tomorrow, I will be in a different church location than the rest of the children's ministry team joining the Vice President of Global Outreach Mission's wife in teacher training. Three different churches have combined their children's ministry teams and extended an invitation to us to train them in children's ministry programming. I will speak on the element of music and it's importance in children's ministry. A new cross cultural experience for me! I am really excited about it, but I hope that I can remember to "slow down" for my interpreter!
More exciting than this are the 25 people who made first-time commitments and received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior yesterday during our time of ministry at the church. It is the reason that we are here in this country; so that others might come to know Him. That God would even allow us to join in His purposes...it's beyond amazing to us and so humbling and rewarding!
