Easter Sunday

Happy Resurrection Sunday everyone!

Tim T called this afternoon (I am sad to say I missed his call, though. He left a message) to give a quick update on the days events.

This morning there was an Easter service at one of the churches along the Amazon River. It was quite long, complete with some baptisms and communion. Tim T preached and Ken T (Tim's missionary brother) translated; Tim said that this was really special for them.

The point of Tim's call was to inform us all about this evening. The team will be splitting up into three different groups and going to different churches this evening to participate in their church services. There will be some singing, some testimonies and some of the students will even be preaching. If I didn't miss the call, I would be able to tell you who was preaching, but let's be praying for all of the students tonight. Leading a congregation in corporate worship is a great privilege, but can also be challenging.

Let's also be praying for the group as they round the corner to their last leg of the trip (they arrive back at their original base camp (the orphanage) on Wednesday and start traveling Thursday). This is a crucial point in the trip where some of the LIFTers can start "checking out" and disconnect from what's in front of them. Let's pray that our mighty God would give them the strength to finish well.

I pray that we would all finish well; let us press on in prayer.
