Visited a church near to the mission this last Sunday. Seems like over the last few weeks - we have done a lot of travel. It was nice to stay local.

This church has been around for a while. Although the service didn't start on-time, once it did start, the place was packed! The service began with the children group singing a couple songs - and I must admit, children's voices usually put chills up my spine - but these kids really could harmonize and sounded quite beautiful.

The adults did a few choruses and dance songs - and finally it was my time to preach. The people were very attentive and after the service there was quite a buzz about the message. It is my prayer they will continue to think on the Scripture and all God's word to penetrate their life.

After the service I asked to speak with the leadership of the church. The deacons all came over and we spoke for a while about the church building project, and some different things - finally I asked - "so, where's the pastor?" Appears the pastor has gone missing - or should I say, is at his home - but just does not feel like coming to church anymore. Hmmm.... I counseled the leaders on some steps forward but feel the best thing to do is pray.
