Today started earlier, we had group devotions at 5:45am this morning and left for the first school. We arrived there at about 8am.  The school had about 1200 students, after singing Cameron gave his testimony and Joe preached.  Joe did a great job, we handed out the Bibles, spent a little time there, many of the students wanted us to sign their Bibles.  

 We then went to the next school, it was a vocational school, their was about 160 students, Brown Brooks opened up and then we sang and Ben gave his testimony, I then preached and then we had the local church members hand out the Bibles.  We stuck around for a little while and then went back to Mapang.  

We then went for lunch and then to Bro Homes church to stamp Bibles, after about 50 boxes of Bibles we went back to Mapang for a rest.  

Church started at 6, Bro Homes did a Canadian theme service.  He had a video that he showed of him at Niagara Falls.  He had us come sing "there is a fountain" then "O Canada" they had a women's quartet and a men's quintet, then a congressional song in Pigeon that almost lifted the roof off the church.   I then had the opportunity to preach,  after I preached Pastor Homes kinda went over it again in Pigeon.   Mrs Homes is a really sweet lady she bought some gifts for the boys as gifts they can give to their moms/sister.  The church also presented us with some PNG touqes  and Bilums(like a knitted purse that men and women wear)  

  We really had and great time with the folks there they are so precious.   

 Today we were stopped by the police and the safety for our vehicle that we rented had expired so they gave us a fine.  After church tonight we got new rental vehicles that we will be using tomorrow.  

  We are planning on leaving at 4:30am. The schools are about 5 hours away.  

We have been very blessed to have a part in this program. God has given us the opportunity of  lifetime.

God bless, thanks for your prayers.  Please continue to pray for the Bibles that are still stuck on the port.   The man that Bro Brooks is counting on just found out that his mom had passed away on Monday which could create more problems for the release of the Bibles. 

Thanks 
Bro Wiebe

PNG Time

This morning started in the usual PNG way, the 4 that were supposed to go to the school up in the mountains waited for a couple hours then found out that the road was too bad and could not go.    We did a little shopping and then after lunch went to the Catholic school.  The school was quite large, we handed out about 850 Bibles.  We did our usual intruductions, both Ob and Joe gave their testimonies. Pastor Hunter preached a clear gospel message. If there was one thing that was clear it was "you Can know right now that you are going to heaven" the kids were very receptive and listened well. After that we came back.    The boys went swimming for a while in the ocean, we then had supper and then off to church.  We went to Bro Neilish church and Brother Hunter came with his church to join us. We also had some first time visitors.     We sang there and Bro Brooks preached.  We had some fellowship and  came back. ...
