4-hour Church Service

Jim sent a text message this morning at 4:00 that they arrived safely in Gemena yesterday. He woke up this morning with a bat in his room. :-)

Their Sunday, like most of ours, will be spent in church. However, unlike ours, they will be participating in a 4-hour service. Pastor Selenga explained many of the practical reasons for such a long service when he was visiting here, but regardless, when you do not speak or understand the language, this is a long time. Pray that they will be able to engage with a spirit of worship despite the language barrier.

Sunday also marks the 1st anniversary and official Grand Opening of The Elikya Centre. While it has already been working for some months now, they waited to have the big ceremony until some of the Consortium churches and ReachGlobal staff could be there. The event will be Sunday afternoon (after the 4-hour church service!) Pray God's blessing on this ministry.
