It is always difficult to sleep in a stange house, but its 8.45 and we are all up and dressed team outfits... Ian has stolen our hot water for our tea to shave with, we will forgive him. I say we are all up, but there is no sight of Bob Easter as yet.
2.40pm - what a morning?! Lots of worship with the Sri Lankan church leaders, all very young and very enthusiastic. They have amazing faith. They work and minister in very hard and often dangerous places. Some have travelled nearly all night to be here this morning.
In the service this morning Sue Judd gave her testimony, and managed with a translation done by Suresh. We then sang 'Isn't He Beautiful' and praise God it went well. Bob C then gave a testimony and we did a drama called 'Stretch out your hand'.
Ian then brought an inspired word from God which turned out to confirm a word Suresh had for the pastors - praise God for the leading of his Spirit. We then ministered to the pastors and the wives that were present - it was encouraging to see them all hungry for God as they responded to the word and a move of the Spirit.
Both Sue Judd and Helen Lobar had words and pictures for the pastors which really encouraged them. As we prayed for the rain of the Spirit to fall on us the heavens opened up outside and did it rain - monsoon style!
Some of the young pastors then danced to 'Our God is an awesome God' - they were annointed and blessed us so much.
And still the rain came ... then Suresh ended the services (3 hours long) with prayer and at the same time the rain stopped.
We are looking forward to ministering in two churches tomorrow.
God bless you all, hopefully we will upload pictures tomorrow.
