We went to the Faith Baptist Church here in Okinawa. Henry spoke in the 10:30 a.m. service while Terri, Sara and I went upstairs to the small group of kids for junior church time. There were a total of 22 people in church, including the 5 Americans. Then we had lunch in the fellowship hall and Henry preached at the 2:00 p.m. service. There were 9 in that service; two of which did not come in the morning services.
We then went over to Maranatha Baptist Church, a military work started back in about 1968. That church has supported us for probably 20 years and it is the first time we have reported to this church. Henry showed the presentation then preached the message on A Cup of Cold Water out of Matthew 11 (it was about the 5th time I've heard it). It is still a good message about service God by giving a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple,to someone you don't like, and to those that hate you.
The chart on the right wall there indicates the church has just two more payments on their property and they will be debt free! That is such a good place to be.
After the service, Pastor Monteith and his family took us and Dan to the A&W Root Beer place where we ate a late dinner. Good food. (hope I have not gained too much weight while down here). It was good to talk to Bob and Tammy. We saw them at West Coast last May and again in June at BIMI's 50th Anniversary.
Tomorrow Henry and Dan will head back to camp for more work. Terri will not go as she has a cold, so Sara and I will stay at the church.
