{FECA Vision Choir} Trip report 16

Sunday, August 2
On the eve of our return back to the States, we are so grateful for all the prayer covering as well as the fruit of souls God allowed us to harvest. This has been by far the healthiest tour in Vision history, with one person missing only one event due to illness and a recovery in less than 24 hours. The three old folks were also able to participate fully in all the events. Marshall, by God's grace, was able to stand when needed and his hip joint pain (which comes if he stands or walks too much) never bothered him when there was ministry to do.

We ate toast with Crunchy Cookie Butter and wonderful papayas and mangos (bought the mangos at the Shan village last Monday) plus assorted left over fruit such as mangosteen, sala, bananas,and longan, for breakfast, started our group devotions, and left at 9:35 for Blessings Church. Fortunately, the church is only about 10 minutes from home, so arrived in plenty of time before their 10 AM service started. They worshipped enthusiastically for 45 minutes, then we observed the Lord's Supper together for about 15 minutes. After this, we spent at least 15 minutes praying for the sick, who came forwarded to be prayed for. Among them is a man with (probably) cerebral palsy who was a complete invalid but after previous prayer, was able with help to limp to the front and receive more prayer. A young man, a medical doctor, testified how his father, dying with liver cancer, after prayer and chemo, is now able to eat and his (virus?) count went from a million down to 80,000. We then sang four songs and Gentle shared his testimony between the songs. It was now about 11:40. We went downstairs to teach the children songs and Bible stories but since Mother's Day (the Queen's birthday) is coming, we found the children busy trying to complete their Mother's Day card, so we were served lunch instead. We met up with Joshua, a youth from Germany sent by Gampon Kumdee to help out at Blessings Church (we met him and four other German youths on Tuesday). When the children finished, they came to eat lunch and we started to teach them a couple of VBS songs at about 12:15 (the adults finally finished their service a few minutes before 12:30) and then Jayme taught them the David and Goliath story. After this. We taught them some craft, teaching them how to make the five color bead bracelet and the meaning of the colors. We also gave them the colored bookmark with the same color sequence and containing Bible verses. Finally, we prayed for the children and returned home to complete our group devotions.
