Greetings,
On Sunday we went to Peace Christian Church in the
morning. This was a warm, welcoming
church that meets in a school building.
I was completely absorbed by the decorations and the displays around the
room. Reverend Holly’s sermon was very thought provoking. It was about Jesus
walking on the water in the middle of chaos. It reminded me of her sermon two
years ago when she spoke about meeting on the other side. After worship time
communion was taken – it was refreshing and restoring.
After the service many people stayed to listen to my
presentation about Grace School. With
sorrow about my poor English I answered questions about the school and
Mali. They were amazed to hear about
this successful Christian school in a Muslim country. I even sang a line of Amazing Grace in Dogon
at one point. We shared experiences and
I greatly enjoyed the generous and nice people this church contains.
In the evening the scenario repeated – this time at the
downtown Peace church. Again many people stayed after to hear about the
school. I met a lot of people today and
made many new friends. All were very supportive of the school and of me. Dinner was served on the Pomeroy’s patio
closing the day’s events with deep satisfaction.
God bless you for your continued prayers!
Your friend,
Ibrahima
