Sunday and Travel...

Pastor David preached at Trincomalee - a message about the ways that children protect themselves and how we as the church, can play a key role in reaching out to children who are hurting and vulnerable. His message is also a chance for people in the congregation to look into their own life and receive healing for hurts they have endured. So we finished the service with a prayer and ministry time for anyone that came forward. Shanthi and the local team also ran the children's program for the morning, and we spent some time praying with them for various needs such as healing and help with school work. After packing up and realising that we really needed to hire a van to get all the luggage and bookstall to our next location, we grabbed lunch and headed off - about a six hour journey to Batticaloa.

It was long dark by the time we arrived and we grabbed a quick bite to eat at the hotel restaurant before crawling into bed...Batticaloa conference starts first thing in the morning.

Wow-you are certainly going full steam ahead! Guess that's what mission trips are all about.

Great to hear the conferences have been going well-loved the pic of Micah with the toothpic in his mouth and his finger in the other kid's ear-guess whatever strategy works for you Micah!

Missing you and looking forward to hearing more about your adventures.
Love Suse
