Clay Pots ~ Elders Visiting From Home!


All of us Worshipping with the Tobo Church this Morning!

This past week we had 2 of our elders and their wives from one of our home churches (Oakwood church, formerly KMEFC) take the daring (and long!) journey to the Tobo tribe of Papua New Guinea!! It brought tears to our eyes just watching the Tobo believers shake hands, worship, and pray with the representatives from our church at home! Can you envision it? This is what the body of Christ is all about! This is what heaven is going to be like! All of us worshipping God together, except with no language or cultural barriers. Today the Meitler's gave their testimony to the Tobo Church and next week the Marris' will be sharing theirs. The Church just couldn't stop clapping with excitement from hearing that there are so many of you who are praying for them back in America to stay strong in the faith!! They were overjoyed to hear that you are not just praying for us, but specifically for them!

Thank you for sending us here, this is what we dreamed about for so many years. Thank you Oakwood Church for sending the elders. They have been a tremendous encouragement to us at a much needed time. Not to mention the chocolate, candy, and gifts of love from all of you kind of helps too:-)

They will be visiting for 9 days and have already been a tremendous help in preparing Hebrews lessons for Jason to translate into the Tobo language, cutting and laminating literacy materials, washing dishes, and being fill-in Grandparents for the kiddos:-)
