Sunday Ministry

I write this unable to sleep after waking up.  It rained and the power is out.

We got up and Pastor Nicodeme took us in a mini bus - I suppose it's kind of like a 15 passenger van... But shorter... And packed a lot more like sardines. 

Pastor had found a church in his denomination that wasn't closed so we went there.  Damian was our designated preacher since only one of us could preach.  When we got there the music was going but it was still quite empty.  2 hours later Damian wasn't preaching yet. Quite a few pastors and some of their people joined us so we had extra choirs which meant more singing.  Damian did a good short job as he had a translator.  

We left church and went to Pastor Nicodemes church to pray that God would allow it to be opened by next Sunday.  The we went to the house of a couple he is discipling who wants to be a pastor.  We ate some wonderful food with them and heard their story and prayed for them. I think it was after 3 when we started eating. 

Then we left Nicodeme and returned to our hotel.  We had a later evening snack and prayed and worked on the first days training stuff. 

I love hanging out and working with Damian.  What a blessing. 

Prayer 

For God to allow these churches to meet next Sunday (we really prayed for this a lot). 

First day of training 

- All the pastors show up prepared

- Relational favor and comraderie. 

- That we can really encourage these pastors as most have has their churches closed for 2 Sundays now. 

- health and sleep
