Every Tribe...


We took some class photos today so now you can see some of these wonderful faces you've been praying for.
You're looking at 10 different "tribes" here and we've been enjoying our foretaste of heavenly worship. Jesus is the one who brought us together here - He is the center.
Only two days left and, as I've learned through my many years walking with the Lord now, He often saves the best for last.

Yesterday, Johnny, Nestor and I led the base worship time and, at the end, all of us spread out to the different corners of the compound to speak and sing out the name of Jesus. There's power in the name of Jesus!
Today, the difference in the atmosphere was nearly tangible and there has been a lifting of the heaviness that often hangs over the place because of the surrounding mosques. We've laughed so much today... a garment of praise exchanged for the spirit of heaviness... the oil of joy instead of mourning!

Tomorrow Nestor returns to Holland - the result of a booking that could not be changed. But we believe it's God's plan, not man's mistake. Johnny and I will continue on Thursday and Friday, ending with the Praise Party again...
The students are busy composing their second song - in their own language and in their own cultural way. Don't you wish you could be a "fly on the wall" and listen in?
Blessings,
Belinda
