VBS Day Two

Today was day two of a week long Tok Pisin VBS. We had about 385 kids come today. Thank God for good weather and all of the people involved in this minstry. It's amazing to see so many kids engaged in listening to the word of God! Please pray that the children will open up during our discussion time. This is the time when we can share with them one-on-one. Papua New Guinean children are very good at sitting and listening, but it is often hard to get them to open up and talk to an adult.

On another note: A long-time translator here in PNG collapsed and died in the village today. WE don't have a lot of details yet, but she and here husband have served her in PNG for many years. (I believe they are currently working on their third translation project if that gives you any idea how long they have been here.) Please pray for her husband, family, the Ukarumpa community, and the people that they have ministered to here in PNG. Many are shocked, saddened, and hurting by this news.
