Missing Preacher

Church service was very interesting today. Paul Hester went home on Monday and Lee is in Honolulu today on his way back home from classes in San Diego. We had two full taxi loads come to church. There were two men that were just baptised about a week and half ago and the rest were women and kids and no preacher. I talked one of the men through doing a great job for the Lord's Supper. I had a DVD to play on the TV and player for a sermon. I taught the kids class, we took the Lords Supper and I tried to pop the DVD in the player and the player wouldn't work. I walked a really fine line trying to not preach to the crowd but giving a really short run down on what they missed. All I could do was apologize and say, Lee will be back next week. We missed you Lee! Please come home soon. We need a preacher! Amen Brother!

Baby number 3

We had another mother with a baby show up at church today. The lady on the right was one of our regulars who came with her friend (or relative) who has a 3 week old baby girl. She had little boy clothes on him. She probably heard we give baby clothes to new mothers, but that is okay. She was at church and we have the chance to tell her about Jesus. If you have any baby girl clothes please mail them with some disposable diapers this week to Avis Cummings PO Box 1652 APO, AP 96555 Please keep in mind it is 86 degrees every day of the year here so onsies and shorts or dresses for girls are great. Also keep in mind that this baby is already 3 weeks old. Babies grow fast, no need to send newborns. Start at 3 months. Any baby or kids clothes of any size will not go to waste. Blessings to all.

Greenlawn

Thank you to Greenlawn church of Christ for the support they sent to help pay for the taxi's during our Gospel Meeting. We have to pay to catch the taxi between Ebeye and Gugeegue. The absolute worst road I have ever been on in my life time. This pic is of one of our taxi loads. The mission was a huge success. We have six new brothers and sisters in Christ. That is more than double what we did have. The building is so close to being finished we can actually see the end of the tunnel. May God Bless you all for your help.

Paul Hester

Thank you to Paul Hester who worked many long and hard hours to preach and teach to the lost. He spent a lot of his own dollars to make this mission a success. Paul baptised six new brothers and sisters into Christ. Paul worked really hard on the building. We are so close to finishing we can smell the end. The bathroom was almost finished. All we like are a few plumbing parts that we could not get locally. Paul put in a new water catchment to catch the water running off the roof so we can flush the toilet or anyone staying at the church building can take a shower. I can not begin to name everything Paul did. Thank you Paul. The Gugeegue church is very blessed to have you in their corner.

Baby Clothes

A big thank you to Angela Caswell and Dean & Becky Lightfoot for baby clothes, toys and personal items for the kids. Nothing ever sent goes unused.
