Speaking

We had the opportunity to speak at New Song Community Church our first Sunday in Pennsylvania. We had a great time and filled in for the Pastor, who was away that Sunday. We know him well and have traded email with him numerous times while we were in Mozambique and will see him later this week. We also received sermon tapes from this church all during our time in Mozambique so it was a little different, in that we felt like we'd been attending services all along! It reminded me of when we arrived in Mozambique - through the prayer initiative, we felt like we knew everyone there and what was happening in the work, but they didn't really know us! We were greatly encouraged by our time at New Song and the questions we received spoke volumes - that the church was following the work in Mozambique and that they were praying for us. Very very encouraging to us! This traveling road-show lifestyle does not come easily to either one of us and this Sunday at New Song was a wonderful way to start our next 8 weeks of engagements. Thank you Lord for this precious and loving church!

And something I have to mention here - it is such a blessing to be attending services and singing songs in my heart language! I have not tired of that yet although I did start to stray into Portuguese a time or two when I was speaking - not sure what that means!

The photo shows our display table that Ann has set up, including our toy truck that speaks to our need to purchase another vehicle when we return. You can also see the small DVD player where we run a continuous 4 to 5 minute loop of church services, travel, and experiences in Mozambique to music we recorded in various church services.

The church is helping us with an open house this Thursday at 630 pm - all are welcome!
