Sunday, July 10 - Well, we've been here for 2 days and have spent them mainly to minister to one another and in preparation for ministry. Today is our first "outside ministry" as we went to the GMK church and was given the whole time to sing, testify, and do a skit at their youth service of over a hundred young people. After an hour of very energetic worship where they sang songs mostly in English (for our benefit, even though most of them do not speak English), we did our program with Joyce sharing her testimony about how God answered her prayer during a stressful time in her life and Ronald shared how God opened the door to allow him to join Vision even though he had classes this week and next at the university. We also performed our skit showing how Satan traps us in our addictions and Christ can set us free with Adi doing the narration in Indonesian. After Pastor Ben preached about Daniel's three friends in the fiery furnace, the Senior Pastor of GMK asked us to pray for their youth who came forward for prayer. At least 50 young people came forward, including at least one who came to receive Christ as savior. During the one-on-one prayer time, several of the young people being prayed for were in tears; some asked for salvation for their family as there were quite a few new believers in the group. The entire service took over 2-1/2 hours. We then had lunch together in a small room below the sanctuary with spicy noodles, curry chicken and assorted cold vegetables and fruits (mainly watermelon). We then returned to our hotel to debrief over the service we just attended and have our group devotions. After dinner, we completed our mini-VBS training and met with Peter, who had arranged for all the places we will be visiting the next 3 days in Bandung. Peter gave us a brief run down of what to expect and we requested that he try to arrange for us to visit the women's prison on Thursday morning before leaving Banding since we had such a great time at that prison last year. Please pray for open doors for this late request since we feel led to return to this prison. We then started to sort all the soaps, shampoos, toothpaste and toothbrushes into separate gift packages for giving to the prisoners and children we will be visiting in the next few days here in Bandung. Health wise, we are all pretty good. A few have mosquito bites, one girl has a headache, several have minor sore throats and coughs, nothing serious, thank God, but please remember to pray for God's healing touch on them.
