 While we found a few nuggets in each of the 1st 2 villages we struck a vein of gold in the 3rd. It had a more open and prosperous feel before we drove in the gate. There was a lovely area under trees with tarps strung up for shade. They brought us sticky rice and coconuts to drink from before we started.

The 4 of us were to get up and say a few words then I think Tim was to have preached. It was established before we started that 40% were christians and the rest, people from in the village.

Tim asked if I wanted to start so I said yes not having a clue as to what I wanted to say.

It was here that I felt like I tapped into Gods heart for these people and talked about his heart for them and that they no longer needed to feel like ophans.

Still not sure what I said but God showed his heart and it drew them. It was a bit funny in that I got so far then ran out of words, while I knew an alter call was in order I just handed over to Mao An who I knew to be an expert at landing the fish I had drawn to the boat. This he did, I took a photo and today had a quick look at it for the 1st time today counted 24 or so people that stood up for salvation. Ha, I should have preached as that was just my introduction. Just goes to show God is still using donkeys. I am still staggered about it.

It was the first time that I remember seeing such a large percentage of a congregation stand for the Lord in nearly 30yrs of church going.

That was the 1st time I had preached other than in bible college years ago. It has changed my world view.
