Every Thursday night all the American missionaries and any volunteers that are here have a mid-week prayer meeting. Since we arrived on Thursday, we were able to have this special time on our first night in Nalerigu. We all shared a meal, sang songs, had a devotional time and prayed. Our devotion was about God’s amazing love. We sang “Amazing Grace” and “Amazing Love”. It was a very special, spirit-filled time of praising the Lord. I was particularly touched by how the missionary kids (MK’s) participated in singing and praying. It was so humbling and inspiring to hear these kids, some as young as 6 years old, voice such eloquent, heart-felt prayers.
We finished our time together with a birthday celebration for one of the volunteers then had chocolate cake and ice cream!! I know we haven’t been here long, but I could already tell that THIS is a very special treat. I hope we have many more birthdays to celebrate!
Thanks for your faithfulness in reading this. I can’t imagine how it could be interesting to anyone else. But I know it will serve as a special reminder to us later as we reflect over how God has provided (and will provide) for all our needs. We are grateful for his mercies in allowing to us to serve in His kingdom purpose in this unique way.
