Our 1st Congolese Church experience!

These are pictures from our Sunday church experience at our 1st Congolese church. It was an amazing morning and afternoon as we met Deo and Sarah's new church family. A number of adults and children came forward to be prayed for, there's was great worship music, and the message from Romans was preached in French and Lingala...neither language in which we could understand.....but what we did understand were the smiles, heart felt handshakes communicating that the people really did appreciate us being there, and the great time we had playing with the beautiful children. It was a blast! By the way...in the 2nd picture from the top, that's Deo in the robe with the red drape and Steve (I'm the white guy in glasses) on the left!

Pray for this new work please! The church is in area that really needs a great fellowship and the people are very excited about having it there. Grace just went to a women's meeting there on Wednesday and led a Bible study for about 20 women. Pray for the women as Grace helps the church coordinate an effective program to meet their needs.
