Many of us have already experienced the highs and lows of this mission trip and have contemplated on our purposes in serving here in Yu-chih. We all understand the struggles and hardships we face and will continue to face while being here - sickness, tiredness, discomfort and even feeling the sorrows of the children. However, we have constantly been reminded of the joys that come with knowing the true God and serving his people out of love for Him. Our morning devotion for today was from Hebrews 12:4 – 6 where we were reminded of our struggles against sin and to not lose heart when we are rebuked. Yesterday we experienced a slight hiccup in our visit to the hospital but this passage was a refreshing reminder for us all to remain humble and united.
This morning we ran the youth group and we presented a skit, sang a few songs and Heidi shared her testimony. We also read different passages and got the teenagers to present their own skits. Praise God that there were a few new people who joined in and they seemed to have enjoyed themselves.
For the children’s program in the afternoon we taught them a song, played a few games, performed a skit on the story of Jonah and ended with a craft activity. The children were all adorable and all participated in everything. Praise God for these children!
Extra praise points:
- Praise God for the pleasant weather today after having experienced the freezing cold yesterday
- Praise God for the smooth running of the activities and the openness of the youth
Please pray:
- for the little children here that they will grow to know and love Jesus
- pray for the youth group here, especially the leadership as they will be the next generation who will lead
- please continue to pray for the unity of our team and continual reliance on God
- pray for the rest of the planning on activities for the coming week
Blessings~
