We sat through a nice strong song service and then the preacher got up. Wow! This man, David Seeno (a national assistant pastor from Kilau) is a great evengelist. He was "shucking some corn." The exciting part, for me at least, is that I understood a lot of his sermon! I was thrilled! It made the service so enjoyable!
Tonight Jon, Matt and I sang a trio at church services in Kilau and Aibai, and Jon was able to preach both sermons. What a wonderful time with the believers in both villages!
ok, gutnait!
Thanks for your prayers,
Thomas and Jon
Note from Katie: Thomas called briefly my Sunday morning, his Sunday night, from the front porch of the Berbin's house where he and Jon are staying, though the Berbins are here in the States on furlough. It was after 10pm there, and the sun had set and a pretty full moon had risen - so bright that he could see from the porch Mount Elembari glowing in the distance. Thomas told me that they feel rejuvenated from their Sunday day of rest and worship, and are ready to get to work tomorrow and see what they can get done before leaving New Guinea later this week.
This picture isn't from Thomas-though I know he'll bring one back! This was taken by Jon Berbin last year, from the Berbin's porch, of Mount Elembari. |
