Ribbon Cutting

The Old Children's Home

Ribbon Cutting
Children's Home Hallway
The power went out in the hotel this morning but came back on in time to get ready for worship. What a great day. I taught the teenagers class and Elaine the little ones and then the worship service. One young lady was baptized and then after morning services, we formally dedicated the children's home. Lot's of singing, prayers and tears of joy. Elaine cut the ribbon on one end with all the ladies and I cut the ribbon on the other end with all the men. This was the first time many in the congregation have seen it this close to completion. It is amazing. I have some "before and after" pictures in this post. The huge logs in the one picture have been cut and made into beautiful doors and window frames in the children's home. Malaysian teak milled, cut, sanded, and finished right here on the premises. Some of the workers and church members worked all night to make sure the lights worked and everything was clean and ready. A few minor things need to be completed and then they will move the children in. I wish all of you could have been here at this dedication.
At the Dedication
Remember, this is YOUR work and God is glorified in it. It is your contributions that have made it possible.
Logs for the Doors
There are already people here from as far as 400 miles away (In all directions) for the lectures and workshops and more are pouring in this afternoon as their services at home are complete. I will preach again at 7:30 this evening and then Monday every thing really gets going. God bless you for allowing us to be a part of this great work.
