Church in Kara

This past Sunday we worshiped with the Chruch here in Kara. Worship started at about 9am and lasted about 2 hours - or something like that. The service was mostly in French. I was able to understand more and more the longer the service went. I think my mind gets oriented to the sound of French the long I am immersed in it. At one point, they started singing a song in "Enlish". I'm not sure why but I starting laughing really hard. I am still not sure why it was funny, but I couldn't stop laughing. There were actually two songs in English (didn't know the songs) and one of the songs repeated the phrase "Jesus is the winner-man". Hearing them sing that song with their accent was quite possibly one of the funniest things I've encountered here. I took a video and a lot of pictures. The Christians here currently meet in a building close to the river; however, they are not going to be able to continue to meet in that building because they do not have the money to buy the land. Please pray for the Christian's who meet here in Kara. They need a lot of encouragment and guidence from the Lord. Also, please pray for God to provide them with a place to meet as this is a very heavy burden on their hearts.

The power stayed on for 24 hours straight - the whole day Saturday. I was very excited about that. Reality set in again, yesterday, when it was out for 1/2 the day...again. I am having three skirts made here by the tailor from the fabric I bought at the market the other day. I am very excited to see them, and I"m sure you will see them in the pictures to come.

The first pictures are of the building the Kara Church is meeting in currently. The other picture is of Caden, Brett and April's son, "dragging" one of the children in to worship. She was just hanging out outside the building and he decided she needed to come in. It was cute!
