Sunday December the 12th on...
Another terrible sleep because of the violence and yelling etc..
Today we were supposed to be in Shapi Village but our host had changed the schedule but not told the other village. I talked to them and they had a welcome party arranged etc but we were to be in Sarakata. So today we were supposed to be in 2 places at once. We started in Sarakata and sent the girls to Shapi at 10am. They were welcomed and did children program. Apparently a bit awkward as they were expecting some teaching. The boys were to go there when we finished.
This was an interesting time. After church and after refreshments Sam K, Sam H, Jack and Kim were to do the teaching. We had quite a few of the Fathers (Vicars) in on the teaching. I did the ministry of Jesus and Sam Hicky preached a cracker on the Kingdom of God. We had a time of worship and then I preached on the Holy Spirit. The head honcho Father didn't look that impressed through out the messages so i thought he was a bit off it. Anyway in the response time the father came up to me and wanted prayer to be filled with the Holy Spirit and healing. This was an amazing time. Everyone was prayer for. There were many healings and we trained others to pray for each other. The Spirit was moving in the place and the Ne Van lady's sang while we were ministering. The father said it would be good to teach this ministry to all the fathers in Vanuatu but that would be next time. Was great to pray and minister to the church leaders that were there. Kim prayed for the lady's. Everyone was encouraged. After that we prayed for all the children and prayed a blessing on them. Really thankful that God moved and Jesus was glorified through the healings. The girls arrived back as we were taking so long and were dissapointed they missed the ministry time.
The whole ministry, preaching, teaching is encouraging but intense and draining. Later that afternoon we all headed for beachfront and relaxed in the sea with a frizbee :-) Again such an intensely hot and humid day. Constantly sweating.
