The
speaker for the opening night in the adult meetings doesn't look
like he is nervous at all. By the grace of God, those who attended
were blessed by the message that he presented, and many returned
night after night.
The
beautiful graphics in the program help to illustrate the speaker's
words. And if it weren't for the faithful translators the
message would have little impact for those who's first language is Tagalog.
Each
of the three main speakers in the adult section were invigorated by
the Holy Spirit as they presented Bible truths that some had never
heard before. Against much opposition from the local Catholic
church, attendance only increased!
The
ME choir learned many new songs to lift the hearts of the audience
to the Lord. Under the leadership of Mrs. Evert, each member made a
joyful noise in harmony with one another to the glory of the Lord.
Our
Child Evangelism team poses for a picture on an excursion, but when duty
calls they are ready for action!
The
children crowd into the small space, wrapping around corners and
filling up the empty spaces!
It
is amazing how many young people flocked every night to hear the
messages of hope.
They
love to be an active part of things! The enthusiasm of the
children gave even more life to their leaders! It was
contagious!
The
crafts helped to make the message real. Each child had a small
creation to take home to show family and friends after each night.
And
to close the final night, the children were excited to share the
songs and verses that they had learned with the adults. They
proudly read and sang in English, sharing Jesus with willing hearts.
Another
highlight for the attendees is when they receive their very own
Bible on the last evening. The Bibles are treated as a
treasure. They are cared for with great reverence.
