The team still does not have internet access. However, Angie called me (Justin) on the phone today with an update.
But first a verse ... 1 Timothy 3:16-17 - All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Today, the team split up for the first time. David, Gerald and Zach went to lead the Pastor Training and Worldview conference, while Angie, Elise and Anneliese taught the kids. Both projects were a big success.
Today, the girls taught each of the classes. They were very pleased with the children's ability to memorize and understand the verses. The children loved making salvation bracelets and really enjoy having Anneliese, Angie and Elise there.
Meanwhile, the men received an overwhelming response to the Pastor Training Conference. Due to the amazing demand, Tom and his crew had to give out tickets. There was simply not enough room for everyone at the center. People crowded around the windows and benches were setup outside the doors. Still people had to be turned away. Those who were unable to attend the Pastor Training simply waited for the Worldview Conference in the afternoon. The afternoon conference met the same type of response. Everyone wanted to be at both conferences. In total, 120 people packed into the center for each session. Tomorrow the team plans to hold the sessions on the roof of the building. This will enable them to reach 200 people in each session. Overall, the people were very receptive to the message.
The girls went to watch part of the Worldview Conference in the afternoon. The attendees were so gracious. They immediately cleared the front row for Angie, Elise and Anneliese. However, the girls did not want to kick anyone out, so spent more time with the kids.
As for the team, Angie reports they are doing better than expected. They are exhausted from the long day, but doing good. When I spoke to her, it was almost 10:30 Kenya time and they had just arrived home.
Praise the Lord for the work that is being done. The people are starving for the hope of the Gospel and the harvest is plentiful.
