Today was fantastic. Pastor Ong had the whole worship team from the international church come to the missionary house for worship practice. What they do is get their whole worship team together once a month to worship. It was awesome. After about an hour of praise and worship I was able to minister to the whole worship team. It was a powerful time of prayer and anointing.
For the evening, we attended the Elim youth group that had about 25 kids show up tonight. I have to tell you.. those kids can WORSHIP. It was powerful! People may think that being a missionary would hurt your family, but if these MKs (missionary kids) are any indication, the impact is positive. These kids were on FIRE for the Lord.
I preached a message about being crucified with Christ and then we had the opportunity to minister to these kids and pray for them. We led one young man in prayer and it was really awesome.
The Kid: I want you guys to pray with me
us: are you saved?
The Kid: I dont know
Us: have you ever asked Jesus into your heart?
The Kid: I did a few years ago, but i really didnt mean it
Us: Do you want to pray today and mean it?
The Kid: Yes, i want to start living for Jesus Christ
POWERFUL! Corb and I prayed with kids to be called into the minsitry and for them to deepen their relationship with Christ. It was so great.
We've only been here a few days, and do you know what is so cool? We are already building friendships. Its remarkable how quickly you can become friends with other people who worship the Lord with you and love one another. Its been great to become a part of this family so quickly.
We're getting ready to bed down. we have 2 services to go to tomorrow. Please continue to pray for us as we minister. We feel your prayers. God is beginning to do miraculous things here, we cant wait to see how He moves.
Here are pictures for today. One of me and corb on the road in front of the house we are staying at and one of me preaching on the porch to the youth group.
