Saturday, July 23 - This has been a reasonably healthy Vision tour so far. In fact, the sickest two are Adi and Kitin who respectively have a bad throat and an infection for which she is taking antibiotics prescribed by a doctor in the hospital we visited. But now that most of the ministry is over, most of us are feeling tired, having run on a lot of adrenalin for the past two weeks so after debriefing (which ended at about 4 PM), several of us stayed back to just rest and relax while about 2/3 of the team went shopping and eating dinner at the mall. God is doing some deep work in the team. Several members mentioned the need to do regular daily devotions when they return. Some have responded with the desire to serve God and go where ever He calls them to go and to prepare themselves accordingly. There are a couple of young men from the Indo-Vision team who are preparing themselves to be teachers but we feel a couple of them really has a pastoral heart and calling and should strive for a higher calling. One young lady quoted from our devotion passage from Isa. 6 saying "Here I am, Lord, send me." It was a blessed time even though the last two days have been quite long and arduous.
We received back a CD copy of our recording session from the radio station studio of Thursday night. One CD has all the individual tracks taken from the recording session which we will re-mix and balance a little better. The second CD is the studio technician's edited version from these tracks which one can plan on a CD player or computer so we listened to a few of the songs. We were excited to hear how we sounded, not perfect, but quite wonderful and we are so grateful to God for the abilities He gave us to sing and for all singers He has assembled to form this year's team. Soli Deo Gloria, to God alone be the glory!
Tomorrow we sing at two churches and then our Home Concert. This might be the last message sent out since we will be busy packing after Home Concert and grabbing a few minutes of sleep before heading out to the airport Monday morning. Brian Lee and Eugene will be leaving right after Home Concert to catch the 1 AM flight from Jakarta since they are going to Hong Kong and other places. The Poli's with Joyce and Paul are staying for a few more days in Jakarta before heading to Taiwan for the short term mission trip there. The rest (18 of us) will be leaving early afternoon from Jakarta to Manila to catch the flight back to LA although several are staying in Manila for a few days.
