Today, we visited Butacho with Mikhaila, Robyn, the cousins Shawna & Kristi, and Gene. Mark spoke and exhorted the church to be responsible for their Christian walk, and I prayed a blessing over Butacho (Col. 1). It was a long, bumpy ride to get there and back, but worth every inch!
Afterwards, we had lunch at the house of the mother of pastor Justin. Justin’s wife and family served us fruit, rice, avocados, beef, pork, chicken…and some soft drinks – Stoney’s and Krest's. We were surprised at how clean and modern the house was.
We were in awe at the quick maturity of the church of Butacho. The pastor preached – and I mean PREACHED – with authority and power, the worship was wonderful, and the children (about 25) were absolute angels.
All of this topped with 2 hours of travel-time fellowship…always a plus.
Can’t wait to see what God will do tomorrow, and the next day, and the next… -- Gene
