We worshiped last night at another church in Kakivedu We worshiped in the street with a medium gathering of mostly women & children. We sang with the praise band. Vicki shared a message about teaching the word to our children & family. We should share the stories morning & night, coming & going. If we don't share the good news we are not pleasing Our Lord! Last night we shared & pleased the Lord! Linda taught the Five Finger Prayer, as only a teacher can. She had the crowd counting on thier fingers & praying for others. Debbie taught from her Bible on her Kindle (Henry is very interested in it!) that we would never stop praying for them! There were chickens on piles of straw & dogs wandering throuh the crowd and we had a great evening!
On Thursday morning, we began our Beth Moore Bible study. We all listened to the CD & followed in our work books. It was a very revealing, we prayed for God to open our hearts to understand the Word. Beth taught that though we think we are persuing God, actually He is persuing us! He wants to be with us and care for us. We are excited about our study!
We just returned from morning worship in Appalayagunta. This is an area that Pastor John and his congregation had to fight for the right to worship! Back in the late 1990's, Jeanette and others in a Mission team tried to worship in the village, but were threatened by non-believers and had to leave before they could meet. The villagers cried & begged them to stay. Today they have a thriving church group that meets on Wednesday mornings, Friday evenings and Sunday mornings! The Lord is greatly pleased with the people in Appalayagunta! A village that is difficult to spell, impossible to say and easy to love!
Linda (finally) made a new friend of Noel, Praveen's youngest son!
We are planning to go shopping at K&L textiles this afternoon.
