It's Tuesday March 5, 2013!
The SENT Team parted ways today, dividing into
two groups. One group went south with Bro. Alan and the other went north with
Bro. Scott. We also have had the privilege of Bro. Mike Maxon, Sr. joining us on
our travels today. He has brought us much laughter and helped the team bring out
the lighter side of missionary life. He's also been a tremendous asset to the
services! We have had an awesome day of ministry so far! The Lord amazes me over
and over again. In spite of the language barrier His spirit is the same! His
presence filled the building where we were gathered together in our first
service this morning on the beautiful Tiger Island. Many of the SENT members
spoke about the love of God and the gift of eternal life. There was a young man
sitting on the front row with tears welling up in his eyes. It was evident God
was speaking to his heart! In our second service God once again showed up as He
so faithfully does. We sang unto the Lord and testified. Bro. Aaron preached a
great message on the heart of a man. We had one man come forward who had been
struggling to serve God! The team prayed with him! It's our hope and prayer that
he walked away forever changed.

It's also been a day of adventure as we enjoyed sightseeing on Tiger Island, rode in the rickshaws, ate fish with their heads still on them, and watched Bro. Pahlman bring a whole new meaning to the verse that talks about a righteous man falling seven times. We also drank filtered water from a bag! By the way, there is a trick to opening the bag of water without spilling it on you!!! Rachel chose to tell me the trick after I opened my bag of water. ; ) Oh, in case you’re wondering what happened to Bro. Pahlman- unfortunately his chair collapsed while eating lunch today. He took quite the tumble. He's okay though! :) Janna tried stealing cardboard off the boat for a souvenir but the boat driver caught her and retrieved his very valuable cardboard!
We are looking forward to another day of ministry tomorrow and trusting God for another great move of His spirit!
