Day of Worship

Today we have had the experience of worshipping in the Urudi church. There were visitors there as well because they knew the team was coming and they have been praying for us. We were greeted and thanked profusely by many of the church leaders. They are so thankful for the support and help of not only the team here but our churches who have graciously given and sent us. The choir has grown quite a bit since we were here 3 years ago, and we think they should make a CD! They were excellent and provided us with joyful, worshipful music. Tom preached a challenging message for each of us, and much of the focus throughout the morning was to thank God for all He has done for us. After church ended and everyone was greeted by everyone (quite literally!) the choir went back inside and provided us with many more songs. We then had lunch with the church leaders at the Osenyas and again were thanked and challenged. Team members also shared some thoughts of praise for the hospitality shown to us and how much they minister to us. Jim told them that this is our second home! Total time in church and with the Osenyas was 8 plus hours! They cherish the time......Pastor Osenya said he never thought he would have friends from the US. We gave small gifts to all who were at the house.....ties, scarves, soap, tablets....and they love each little thing. Pray for us on Monday, as we hope to wrap things up by mid afternoon at the clinic so that we have time to be with the widows and orphans from Heart to Care. Pray that we will be able to see all who come, and that we end well. Our hearts are full of praise.
