Our brothers in Christ from Ethiopia enjoyed a "sleep in" till 9:30 this morning. They are struggling with the time change big time. Cooked a big breakfast for them this morning and then we fellowshiped together. Our morning worship time focused on Acts 2 and the transformation of Peter's leadership post Jesus ministry timeframe. He went from a impulsive, brash and unstable leader to a humble, confident in God, and full of the Spirit servant leader. We had a wonderful time reading the passage and expounding on what we learned from Peter and the text. Together we talked about the power of forgiveness, the right source for our confidence, the constant need to discover how we can spend more time residing in a spirit of humility and our keen desire to finish strong. We followed this study time with prayer for all the speaking engagements upcoming. It was a wonderful morning of fellowship.
The guys loved their ride on the train into Uptown. We spent a couple of hours enjoying Discovery Place and the "Ship Wreck" exhibition as well as the IMAX theater which showed a movie entitled "Under the Sea." They loved it. They are easily pleased. After a mid afternoon stop for coffee we arrived back home around 4:30pm. Chris fixed us a big homemade dinner complete with lots of dessert choices. Ephraim tried them ALL! Then we settled in for the World Cup qualifier between the US and Costa Rica. The boys barely made it through the end of the match and were in bed by 9:30.
Pray for them between 10 - 11:45 tomorrow morning as they speak in two Bible classes at Arborbrook School.
Pray for Ephraim & Yenu and Berhanu & Adonech, that their marriages would stay rooted in their love for God and each other. Pray for the wives as they are home alone with the kids. Pray for these men to finish the race strong!
