Here I am in action at the Friday Community class, attended by children of around 4 to 7 years old. Over 100 different kids have passed through the classroom doors on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays since the classes resumed in February, every time receiving a healthy dose of English and Bible teaching.
The picture was taken by Sean Berquist, a 24-year-old health volunteer from San Francisco, who arrived last Friday and has brought his horizontal West Coast ways to proceedings here. Sean, who is hoping to start medical school later this year, is engaging and ultra-positive, and it’s been good to get to know him this week.
Really not too much to report of note this week, though I’d appreciate your prayers for church tomorrow, where I’ll be preaching on John 3:1-21. Given the fundamental nature of the passage, I’m feeling the very real pressure of not messing it up, particularly when it comes to explaining the gospel. Indeed, I have a good chunk still to write, which I’m aiming to do today, so I trust you’ll understand my brevity this week.
Prayer
• For Craig as he preaches on Sunday.
• For our planned lunch with Elizabeth (Amanda’s Sunday School assistant) and her younger siblings tomorrow.
Praise
• For the Lord’s continued and, at times, unexpected provision, which we have certainly experienced this week.
• For the opportunity Amanda has later today (Saturday) to meet and pray with her female co-leaders from the church youth group.
¡Que Dios les bendiga!
Craig & Amanda
You can't screw it up, Craig. It's the Gospel. Just lean back and let it do it's own work—it's like golf, you have to let the club do the work for you, you just set it in motion. Although it feels weird posting this after the fact, it will remain true for as long as you're preaching the word of God.
