One of the areas that we are focusing on is Pili. In previous blogs I have written about how God gave us the opportunity to share the gospel with the parents of children at Agape Childcare Center. Benji and I decided to have a parents night for them. We wanted to have it in the church to encourage them to come - but we would have games, food, a devotional, and just a time to hang out. We started planning and inviting parents two weeks in advance. We kept visiting them so they wouldn't forget. My prayer was that they would be encouraged during this time and be able to enjoy fellowship with each other. We started around 7pm and we had the chairs in a circle around the room. As we started the program we had praise and worship and as I looked around the room at all the people we had personally visited in their homes and shared the gospel with they were now singing in worship! All the chairs were filled. I stood there in amazement at how God brought all of this together and how He has changed each of their lives! I started to count and after 50 I lost track because more people were coming!Benji shared a devotional, we played games with the adults and some of the children that came and they LOVED it! We fed them dinner and were able to give each of them a Bible because of a couple,Nick and Teresa Dustman, that I know from back home who donated money. The families were so excited about receiving the Bibles that they were asking for more! Something that we easily have access to and can afford made me wonder are we that excited about the Bible?The night was a huge success and everyone kept coming up to me after it was over thanking me for the Bibles and the time they got to enjoy with each other. I thank God to be apart of their lives and seeing them grow!
