A Day Away

This is what I got to do on Friday.
Hang out in the pool and read my book.
It was nice!

After a few hours at the pool at Y.S. Lauren, Joanne, and I
went to Little Ochi for supper.

Thank You Jesus for Days to Run Away!

John 13

Tuesday night -Thursday morning we had the privalige to host a
Samaritans Feet Team

They follow the teachings of John 13

And because they all signed they were able to share stories about
Jesus and His love to the students while they washed their feet and
presented them with new shoes.

This picture makes me laugh Sam was washing Tajay's feet
and Tajay just sat there watching him for the longest time.
Then he asked ( as you can see in the picture) if Sam was
Santa Clause:D

The process:

The classes came in and Joanne would give them a wrist band

Tim would measure their feet

and write their shoe size on their wrist band

they would sit down and someone on the team would wash
their feet.

and dry them while they looked for a pair of
shoes in their size

Glo would give them short foot massages.
Then we would give them shoes and they would be on there way.

some of the boys taking their school shoes to the dorms after
getting their new shoes from the team.

the older kids looking at the little kids new shoes while they waited
for their turn.

feet getting used to the cool water

Damian my water boy who kept bringing us
clean water to swap out as we washed feet.

I was excited to be able to take over for some of the team half
way through the students/staff. I loved being able to serve my kids
and those I work with in this way.

The entire Samaritan's Feet team.

Thank You Jesus for willing servants who follow your example.

A Test

This past Sunday we had a test in church. After Damian completes his sermons, on whatever topic he has been preaching on, the church gets tested to see how much we all remember from what was taught. ( a teaching tool for the deaf to makes sure they understand)
Damian just finished up his series on "Magnifying God" and so yesterday this test was given:

Short Answer Questions:
1) What has been the topic we have been studying since June?
2)What were two examples used to demonstrate this?
3) What does magnify mean?
4)Who watches us as we magnify God?
5) How do you magnify God?
6) Who is a person that has an evil spirit and can tell the future?
(from the story in Acts where a slave girl was used by her master because she had an evil spirit but was then set free when she noticed Paul and Silas's good testimony and they shared the truth with her)
7) Who said "He must increase and we must decrease?"
8) How can we minister to others?
9) What does the word minister mean?
10) What was the theme verse used through this study?
11) People who live in the light do what?
12) People who live in darkness do what?
13) Where is the verse found about confessing your sins one to another?
14) Who do we need to shine our light for?

True 0r False:
15) We as Christians live among the world
16) Jesus Himself was the light of the world
17) Glorify and Magnify can mean the same thing
18) The guard at the prison was saved because he noticed Paul and Silas' good testimony
19) When Paul and Silas were in prison they complained to God and said "Why Me?"

Vocab/Spelling:
( for this part Damian would sign a word and then we had to spell it... can't really do that on a blog:)

21) increase
22) telescope
23) magnify
24) Paul
25) ministry


Then there was the bonus of a diagram a circle with a line down the middle half was shaded half was left alone each side had 3 lines coming from their side of the circle and we had to write in what each represented;
Light, God, Christians vs. Darkness, Satan, the unsaved.

At first when we would do this I would get so nervous but now I love the challenge of it to see how much I have retained... or how much I space out while in church.

Good Bye Friends

Yesterday was Tony & Cildas last day here with us at C.C.C.D:(
After around 20 years of working with the ministry they feel like God is telling
them its time to move on. They have been my guardian angles during my time
here, and I will miss them greatly. BUT I know that God's ways are far above
our own, and I am excited to see where God will lead them.

Thank You Jesus for the gift of these friends.
