Praise in any language

Today the team worshiped at King of Kings Church and the Masi church. The message at King of Kings was delivered by John Thomas. This was a message on baptism, which is part of the discipleship series that they are going through. Some interesting points and good reminders of some basics. The service at the Masi church was more music oriented . The choir was away this week, so members of the congregation would lead in a song and some would offer testimony as well.
We had a very spirit filled service and we were all very enriched from the experience.

After the service the team members in our KomBi (van) were discussing the mornings' service.
All of us were impressed that even though we understood very little of the languauge spoken or sung we were able to worship just the same. We were reminded that when the spirit leads we can all take part.

I was thinking during the service that we have no idea of what is being said, yet we are getting just as much from the service. Also, it hit me that God understands everything we were saying at the same time understanding what we were also hearing in another language.

We had lunch at the home of Avril and John Thomas. We were whale watching just prior to going inside for our meal. A very fascinating location. John and Avril updated us on some of the operations and projects of Living Hope and the other ministries.

After some shopping and dinner we have returned back to the team house. We will be meeting and then resting for tomorrow's work to begin.
