Day 9 - Tuesday

Hey Everyone - sorry for the late update. Yesterday was a really full day. We started the day with classes at the PE college where we are contacting students left and right. The Lord has opened doors for us that we never imagined and our students and adults have been able to meet, connect and have conversations centered around the Lord without hindrance. Your prayers are effective and the Lord is answering them. The Beituen group left the College group at lunch and headed to the church. After a long and fun walk over to the church we joined up with Philip and Sara (pastor and wife) and their team and went to a local middle school where they will soon plant a church. They are working with four other churches to perform good works in this community to lay the groundwork for this new church plant. We were part of a "good work" in this school with the children there. We sang in the program for about 200 7th- 9th graders that were involved in a program that is led by these church leaders and then helped with a game. The principal of the school then treated us to a tour of the school and some tea which further cemented the relatinoship of the pastors and the school. After this, four of us stayed to tutor some of their students in English and math. The rest of us headed back to the church to get ready for the evening program. We were able to minister to Sara and her two kids which was a great way to encourage this little church in the middle of a pagan culture.

The evening program was for a group of students - middle, high & college students that Phillip and Sarah open their home to each week for dinner and school help and evangelism. We sang and then shared the Gospel. It was a really awesome time for the students and then we were able to have some small groups with the Christian students who attend the church and encourage them in their walk.

The college group also had a great time and worked at the campus in the fencing class and other english classes.

You do not want to miss our mission report when we return home.
