OUR FIRST MISSIONARY TRIP TO A CITY ABOUT 5 HOURS AWAY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS IN BOTH MINISTRY-WISE AND IN ENJOYMENT.
WE HAD OVER 100 KIDS EACH DAY!
WE REEENACTED THE STORY OF ESTER IN THREE DAYS. HERE I AM PLAYING THE KING WITH HAAMAN AND ESTER THE QUEEN.
WE ALSO HAD EACH TEEN COME IN AS A COLOR OF THE WORD-LESS BOOK EACH DAY EXPLAINING THE SALVATION STORY. THREE MONTHS LATER, THERE ARE STILL 10 OR MORE CHILDREN THAT HAVE STAYED WITH THE CHURCH BECAUSE OF THIS OUTREACH. ALL PRAISE TO THE LORD!

OUR TIME WITH THE TEENS ALTHOUGH LESSER IN NUMBER WAS A JOYOUS TIME EACH NIGHT WITH AN AVERAGE OF 8 TO 10 NEW TEENS COMING OUT EACH NIGHT.
THE TEENS LOVED THE OUTING TO THE WATERFALLS ONLY ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR AWAY FROM THE CHURCH.

PAULINHO SHOWING OFF HIS SKILLS.
AFTER A LONG THREE DAYS, THE RIDE HOME WAS PRETTY QUIET. A VERY TIRING TRIP, BUT WELL WORTH THE EFFORT. I FELT THAT MANY OF THE TEENS REALLY GREW A LOT SPIRITUALLY DURING THIS TRIP. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY TWO YEARS IN THE MINISTRY FULL-TIME.
