We decided to bring the two churches I am working with together for a small Christmas celebration on Saturday and Sunday. We had to transport the Big Tree people to the Chinjala church which was a bit tricky in itself but it all worked out. After starting off at 9:15 am we didnt actually get to Chinjala until around 1:30! We started the services around 2 pm; had 2 full church services complete with lots of singing, some preaching, and all sorts of excitement. Saturday finished around 11 pm amidst heavy rains but no one seemed to notice. After some sleep, we started up again at 10 am with some more church singing, choir groups, testimonies, and preaching. It was a wonderful time to think of God being manifest in the flesh and the fantastic gift of salvation His life, death, and resurrection presents to mankind. Every "gift" has a cost and we learned the price paid for the "gift of eternal life" was at Calvary. Wow! Humbling. Many people came to call on Jesus and receive the free gift. So thankful to see our Lord working among the people and bring forgiveness of sin, hope of eternal life, and peace to the heart.
