Another busy but incredibly productive day today. The team ministered in drama at both the Sunday Morning services at the church as well as doing the children’s ministry which was quite a job since the adult service is in one building and the children’s ministry is in another a few blocks away. There was a lot of running (literally running!) back and forth between the two buildings. After I ministered at both regular services Mona ministered at the Persian(Iranian) service which was translated in Farsi. The service started with praise and worship in Farsi, then the dramas by the team, then Mona ministered the word. People then came forward at the end for prayer. The afternoon was originally scheduled to be a time off for some shopping and recreation but the team was so excited about the ministry on the streets yesterday that they wanted to do it again. They met up with some of the young people in the city center to grab something to eat and hit the streets again. I am so impressed with their hearts for ministry, the great teamwork and wonderful attitudes we have seen in the entire team. This evening Susan and I were able to send video greetings live back to the church in Alma through iChat! It was wonderful to be able to share just a taste with everyone back home the great things that are happening here.
Tomorrow is a holiday here so we are taking the day to visit the home, church, and grave of Smith Wigglesworth! The team is really excited. I should be able to have some pictures of that for tomorrow night.

I know you guys couldn’t see us through the iChat on Sunday BUT it sure was awesome to be able to see you guys on the big screens! Too bad we couldn’t have done it on the MB Pro… or I could have linked up my camera to pan the congregation.
Is there another video iChat in order for Wednesday service???
Have a good night!

It’s an American invasion!!!! Praise God!That was an awesome thing to know that you guys are clear across the ocean and yet we got to see your smiling mugs across the screen at church!!WOW…What an awesome time we live in. And the harvest is ready! We had an outstanding time in prayer on Sunday morning too, believe me you all are well covered and we expect to hear the fullness of the mysteries that we prayed out.(By the way during prayer China kept coming out about three times, to dispell the darkness and doors of utterance etc… is that a ‘thing’ over there?) Well praise God I hope those ‘ferners’ squeeze you dry like a sponge and all the goodness of God oozes out!!!Please tell Mona that I am going to buy her a slurpee at the 7-11 with Abdul when she gets back as she will probably be quite fluent in ‘Yetee’ or whatever it is they speak there!!!HaHaHa! Be blessed and refreshed!
