Preaching

 Here’s a photo of Kevin and the kids sitting on the “men’s side” of church last sunday.  I’d like to point out that Toby is wearing my flipflops since his were temporarily lost.  That’s how big his feet are now!  He’ll be 13 in April.  And yes, that is an albino child in the photo.  People who are pigmentally challenged are not uncommon here.

I sit on the women’s side, and the ladies are always so kind to make a space so I can sit against the wall (necessary for my back).  Often a lady gets up and moves so I can sit there.

The singing and preaching is all in Macua and in Portuguese.  Here is a photo of Kevin preaching, in Portuguese.  He’ll be preaching at a different church every Sunday this month, visiting the monitor’s churches.  The man beside him translates into Macua, which is the language used by almost everyone in their daily interactions.  This is the language we are trying to learn, with limited success.  We keep pressing on!  People appreciate the effort.  Please continue to pray for Kevin as he builds up the TEE program and encourages the monitors.  We are so blessed with a group of men who are committed to seeing this program grow in the city and beyond. – C
