Last visit to Bearing for a while...

Since I will be heading back to the US for a visit soon, and because I have to attend a wedding receptions next Sunday evening, today was my last day at Bearing for a few weeks. A good day, overall. But most Sundays here ARE good days!



My friend Greg Brown spoke at the early service about Jesus stilling the storms in our lives. Everyone at Immanuel enjoys it when Greg speaks, because you know you will be blessed.


Two families had several of their children baptized by their fathers this morning. It was very moving. Here, John, who plays piano at the 8:00 service and on Friday evenings, is baptized by his father Wirot, a really wonderful man I got to know on one of our week long mission journeys.



Wirot baptizes his son Meyer. Meyer is much loved in the church for his outgoing personality.


At Ja Rurat, we talked about being thankful and started working on a new memory verse, Matthew 6:33.

We played a game, involving running and singing, "He is the King of kings!"


Some of the kids have started escorting us to our car to say goodbye at the end of the day.

As always, the evening ended at Bearing with breaking bread (or, actually rice) together, and a time of worship. My favorite part of the week. I am going to miss it very much the next three weeks.
