All Nations

May 6

Today i went to a church called All Nations, which was in town but held outside. At the beginning of the service all the little kids went up and did a song, complete with hand motions and dancing. next time i'll bring my camera so i can video it, it was priceless. then we went to lunch where i ordered a chicken burger but received a mystery meat. chicken has never looked or tasted like that before. hmm.

Yesterday i had my Sabbath. i have decided to make Saturday my day of rest: i am not allowed to do anything related to school, and i am only allowed to do what i want to. So i stayed on base all day and ate good bread and cheese, read, made my blog, wrote emails, talked to some people. it was very rejuvenating. People in Africa generally work everyday of the week, because they can't take a day off of attending to their animals and farms! But since YWAM is also a school we get real weekends.

the movie on friday was "The End of the Spear." it is a very powerful movie about Nate Saint and Jim Elliot, the missionaries in Ecuador who got speared to death by the tribe they were trying to reach. then their children and wives go and live with the tribe and win them to Christ. over half of it is in the tribal language though, so i don't know how affective it was in teaching English! but people had good responses to it in the questions i gave them to answer. i asked them "what is one thing you learned from this movie?" and here are some of their answers:

"The God's love. Agape love." Hyun Yi
"All things are able for Jesus." Visiter
"I'm learned is love to people." Johan
"Ministry of missionary is very difficult but God helps." Onesmus
"For God is very good." Franaeli
"The missionaries they gave life for ministries." Shadrack
"I learn that God has a powerful because most of them they got saved." Wilson
"I learned greece (grace) of God and love much." Mark

Thanks for the prayers and God bless,
