Worshipping at Red Hill and Ministering at a Public School

Wednesday night we visited a church service in “Red Hill” squatter camp. My family has worked with Pastor Kennedy and his people over the last few years and it was good to see him, his family and church again. We also did a little team sightseeing on the way to Kennedy's church (a nice team photo).

We participated in the worship service with music, drama and preaching. I spoke from Matthew 5 on “Retaliation”. The Word was well received and several asked for prayer from our team afterwards. One young lady came up to me with her Mother and told of her conversion 10 days prior. She told us how she had been involved in drugs and alcohol and that God had rescued her. She rejoiced in God's presence and among His people and seemed thankful for the spiritual contribution we brought to her life.

We also had some very special hand-made blankets from the U.S. We decided to give them to some of the ladies at the service in Red Hill.

On Thursday afternoon, we visited a local public school and joined them for an after-school Bible club. The children welcomed us with joy—we sang together and Pastor Regan spoke about Christ's substitution on the cross for us. A group of American's from the local YWAM training school joined us for this program and really “gelled” with the children.

Tomorrow we have 30 pastors registered for a pastor's seminar. Dave Gotaas, Jeff Tideman, Regan and myself will be leading this. Thanks for any and all prayer for us. We sense God's presence.

Blessings—we will be leaving Monday! But will keep you posted on our progress over the next few days,
