The internet has been pretty good and the power has stayed on, so I decided to take some time to blog and post some " older" events as well as current ones. This year at Valentine's Day, I organised a Valentine banquet for the Couple's Fellowship. The girls are here helping me decorate the classroom. I wish you could see what they drew - hearts and hearts!! We love having our kids join us for ministry whenever they can and they really have been pretty hands on missionaries themselves....
FOOD!!!!!!!! We paid the cafetaria to cater the main food but some of the members of the fellowship helped with the desserts.....it was YUMMILICIOUS....
This couple, John and his wife are fromNigeria. John is a first year student, newly weds! They have been married for 6 months...praying together for each other at the end of the service. You may not know this, but it is highly unusual for African couples to pray for each other and hold hands in public. Tony and I encouraged it and it seems to be working!!
Bethuel and Noella from Congo. I will be joining them in Congo in about two weeks! I sent out a newsletter on that....if you didn't get it but would like to know what inspire the trip, send me an email.
The banquet was attended by over 30 people (not all came as couples. many came as "singles" as their spouse is either not in the country with them or is not available). We took the opportunity to give our students/pastors a Christian way to celebrate Valentine. They were reminded again to take time grow together and to strengthen their relationships in the midst of busy and demanding ministry. A good reminder to us all!
