We will try to think of an interesting title for the next post!

We spent the day shovelling dirt which was awesome - no sarcasm intended! The past two days we have been moving stones and doing some manual labour to get the campsite ready for the anniversary service on Saturday. This somehow developed into a water fight so it was all good!!

Sunday school went well last week. Around 55 children came - a lot of them came for the first time. We gave out invitations around the village so as this worked well we plan to give out invitations in the future for some of the other services that take place in the church.

This will be a busy week for us. This is our last week of classes. We are also taking the church service on Sunday, the midweek, the ladies meeting and the youth meeting. There is also a special service on Saturday to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the camp centre. We will be taking part in this service. However, before that happens we will also have to clean everywhere - even the boys bathroom!!!!

On Monday 3rd November we will be heading to Ilo to help out the church there. We will be involved in visitation, childrens meetings, youth meetings, midweeks and the Sunday services. We will be there for about a week.

We would value your prayers for:-
  • all of these plans
  • the people we will meet
  • for safety as we travel
  • the churches in Ilo and Ite
  • continued progress with Spanish
  • continued unity in the team
