A quick word just as our first conference begins....early start, lovely breakfast...all onto the bus and a quick trip across town and we find ourselves at Pastor Sujith's church. Mirihana Calvary Church is in Colombo and David has been coming here for many years.
Pastor Sujith has a huge heart for reaching and teaching children for Jesus.
As I write this, the beginning worship time is in progress...we are all worshipping God together. Despite the language differences, there is no barriers between us when we are all praising God together.
Everyone has their part to play...The local team have worked hard all morning to set everything up - the bookstall looks great, the team from Calvary church have worked to bring all the local children's ministry people together, we have prepared our workshops, Asela has prepared all the conference materials and graphics, Thanuja and Dulangelie are leading the singing time ably accompanied by Krishan, Harsha and Daniel on the drums and guitars. Shanthi has been working tirelessly to make sure that each conference is arranged and people in the local churches are aware and able to come.
Even though we only met yesterday, we have been a team for a long time....and God is the one who is directing the whole thing.
As this day begins, it is our prayer that he will bring all the planning together for the result that he has already planned.
Our conference theme is "Invest". We know that God has invested in each one of the team and in each one of the delegates...and that this conference will be just one more deposit in God's big bank of what he is planning for the nation of Sri Lanka through the children.
I shall get some photos up soon.
