Cluster Worship Service

I hate to confess my whininess, but honestly I was dreading heading out to Didoro today. I hold nothing against Didoro. It's just that it's the furthest village from us - not by distance, but by time because the road is so bad (2 hours each way). It's so bad I usually suggest that Andrea and the kids stay at home. As it turned out this time, I needed the space in the truck. The western cluster of churches (Nakar, Nyinyime, V2, Didoro, V8) has decided to start a series of cluster-wide worship services. It was God's providence that on a day that I was feeling like a baby, He showed me what great things He was doing without any great effort on my part. I first saw a lady I recognized from Nakar on the side of the road. She wanted a ride to Didoro, then I saw Eric from Nyinyime and picked him up. I gave a ride for 6 people back to their various villages afterward. 150 adults and many children from at least 5 villages were there.

I, as a visiting preacher, encouraged the Didoro church to focus on whole families in their evangelism efforts in Yenvoon and Sanbewn. Another visiting preacher, Domanyuora from Nyinyime, taught a dynamic lesson about how conversion corresponds with our being yanked out of Satan's clutches by Jesus and his Father. In this picture, the two boys on the left represent the Father and Jesus The next boy down the line is humankind and the boy on the right is Satan trying to hold on to the boy. A few moments later in the lesson. Jesus and the Father pull the boy that represents us out of Satan's hands. I need to talk to him about fitting the Holy Spirit into that object lesson.
