Thankyou!!!!

This is a blog post to say thankyou very much for your prayers this last week. We were very grateful for God´s help.

On Monday morning Simon met with Nelson for the discipleship class. They looked at how a Christian should face the daily battle with temptation. Nelson is very keen to learn and just wants to follow God. They´re meeting again on Wednesday morning in Nelson´s home which is about an hour away from the church. He´s getting lunch there with the family so he can´t complain! Please keep praying for Nelson.

Shirley and Lynne were roped into helping organise the women´s meeting on Friday night because the Pastor´s wife hasn´t been too well. So a few of the women in church are now professionals in making 15s! Someone from church led the Bible Study and the night seemed to go well.

The Saturday night we went to the youth meeting. Only 8 were there in total which was less than the last one but still very worth wild. Simon had the chance to share a short message with the young people which hopefully they understood!

Thanks especially for praying for the Sunday School during the church service. We had 8 lively children for ... an hour and a half!!! But we really enjoyed it. We got to teach them the next lesson in the life of David, which was David and Absalom and talked about how we can think that there is no way we´d ever be as rebellious as Absalom and do the things he did, but in reality all of us have rebelled against God and need His forgiveness. We had a quiz too which was great fun and reinforced the story before they got stuck into their worksheets and played games. Please keep praying that something said might stick with them and be used by God, if not now in the future, to bring them to Himself.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers. With little language and with being in a new culture it does make it more difficult so your prayers are really appreciated!
