Praise the LORD for HIS WONDERFUL GRACE! Friday we traveled six hours into the bush for a joint worship service with 7 churches. Arriving at our destination after traveling extremely rough roads, if you can call them roads. We set up our tents and prepared for the worship service which was held around an open campfire. The night air was very cool. We needed to be in our warm jackets and close to the fire. People came several miles away, all of them walking to come to the meeting. One church traveled by foot for 7 hours to join the meeting. We began the meeting at 7:30PM with wonderful music that praised the LORD. About and hour later we began with testimonies from our team. God gave me the opportunity to preach His powerful Word to the crowd. Brother Darrell Long gave the invitation and over 30 people came for salvation. What a wonderful evening .
Early the next morning we heated our water on the fire and had some hot coffee. That was followed by a three hour teaching time in the school house with the pastors and their helpers. We delivered 4 bicycles to the pastors of these new works, and gave out Bibles in the Tonga and English language along with Bible lessons in the book of John. A supply of food stuffs was also distributed among the churches. While we taught the preachers, John, Ryan, and Darrell taught the children the gospel. God blessed with a great group of children stepping forward to recieve the LORD. These very young churches in Tonga Valley Mountain region are moving forward for the Lord.
Tomorrow Sunday we head for another village to conduct a worship service! God is so GOOD!
Thank you for your prayers.
