GOOD FRIDAY

praise and mela HIS FRIEND
We remember today(Good friday) the Love of God to all mankind,and the power of him dying on the cross to set all mankind free from their sin's,but there are others who don't kn ow the importance of this day.We talked about good Friday to some of the people we are working with and to them this is something entirely new to their mind and also to the church congregations.but despite being new to them i decided to put that into practice, the practice of showing the people how important this good day is to all people,so i planed a service for that day.
All the team members of s i m Yabus gathered together and set out for the church at around 9:30am but to our surprise nobody was there to even sweep the church for that day, but Vicky(my wife )made the church tidy and Bethany and one other lady from roof joined to keep the place conducive for the service,as no other church members came to join for the Friday service,but just the few 7 missionaries.And so we started the service,some few minuet later two small boys came to join the others,and they others came in slowly and slowly to see what this day was like.
Thank God at least 70 people came for the service,and after that the leader of the church said,"sometimes good things are left undone and from now on we will continue with this kind of service every Year.we sang songs in our different dialect,and there was a sermon by one of the missionaries,pastor Stephen Adamu,but the big thing is that God was really glorified.oops,i forgot to say that one good thing happened,and that is that the Uduks were also in the mabaan church for that service and they even presented a song in their own language too.
and the preacher charged the people to go out there and share the good news of God's love them.but this was not the end for me,my wife,Anter,and Garang we took a different road to the community,after sitting and taking tea for a while,we also talked about the love of God to oters who don't understand fully,and Garang who loves children took Hallelujah and Praise for a donkey ride,while we talked of stories puzzles and games to make the day a happy one thank God for his love.



FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN TO IT'S GOING DOWN THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE PRAISED.
