The last of the 25 team members arrived yesterday. Everything went fine despite the fact that they came in on three separate days, three separate airlines. Tomorrow we start a medical clinic, including a team in a remote location, children's ministry, sports evangelism, and construction…. Today we took the team to the international church in San Pedro, and then this afternoon we had church here, including a choir led by Tom Pickard. In a group this size we were able to do four-part harmony. It was really pretty. Before the service began many of the group members walked the streets of Seis de Mayo inviting people to come. After church we played volleyball and attracted lots of kids from the village. I forgot to mention, Friday was payday. We had an extra person on the payroll getting ready for this week so I wasn't quite sure how much we would need; I pulled together all we had and it amounted to $1925. I asked Nicholas to figure up how much we would need. A little while later he came up with a big grin on his face and handed me a slip of paper with his sum total of $1924.46.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The strongest message about Christ is our testimony of what has happened in our own life; but when we are not walking by faith there's nothing much to say.
