Sorry for the lack of posts. We’re slamming busy. Jess successfully graduated her 5 students from the School of Biblical studies. Over the past 9 months these 5 students have read and studied the whole entire Bible!
I’ve been busy, trying to make sure everything is in order here as we leave for our upcoming trip to the Philippines and the mainland.
I went to a ministry meeting today for my church. It dawned on me as we sat there that everyone there was Asian. That hasn’t been my usual ministry experience.
We opened up reading Luke 10:38-41 After we had read it and discussed it we read it in pidgn. The “local” dialect of Hawaii. See if you can follow along.
38 Jesus an da guys he teach wen go down one road, an dey come to one small town. One wahine name Marta stay dea. She wen tell um fo come inside her house.39 She get one sista name Mary, an Mary wen sit down by Jesus feet an lissen to wat he say. 40 But wen bodda Marta cuz ony her was doing all da work, an she come an tell, “Boss, you no care dat my sista wen leave me all by myself fo do everyting? Tell her fo come help me!”
41 Da Boss wen tell Marta, “Marta! You bum out, an you worry bout plenny stuff, 42 but you ony need one ting. Mary wen pick da mo betta ting, an nobody can take dat away from her.”
Bless you guys, my next post will probably be after we get back from the Philippines. Please be praying for us! We’re going to take a couple of days away next week as a retreat of our own before we transition. Please pray for us during that time as well. And thank you so much to everyone who donated for our trip! We got more funds that we needed, and will be donating some of the extra to the ministry we are working with over there and then using some of it to set up a scholarship fund for future trips.
