Should we or shouldn\u2019t we move the table tennis table into the village? \u00a0That was the dilemma! How do we get it there?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, we did! \u00a0The Lord answered our prayers with safety along the windy and narrow roads. \u00a0He had a purpose for the Ping Pong table even as we were moving it several months ago and even though we did not know it at the time!<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few weeks ago during Kids Bible Club, we realized that we did not have enough tables for the children to color their Bible Lesson pictures. \u00a0We were feeling sad that many of the children left the few crowded tables to color their pictures on bumpy church pews.<\/p>\n

What should we do? Later we discussed the possibility of making a 6 hour round trip to town to purchase more tables! \u00a0None of us were thrilled with this idea! Not only the cost but there was much to do in the village this week to prepare for Sunday church, Youth Meeting and Kids Bible Club!<\/p>\n

After brainstorming awhile, we thought why not use the Ping Pong table for the older children who could color while standing!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not because of our own works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time eternal.\u201d \u00a02 Timothy 1:9 (Berean Study Bible)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please pray for Agutaynen children who come to Kids Bible Club that as they memorize their weekly verses and study their lessons, they will come to a saving knowledge of the Gospel message and learn to love God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n

We deeply appreciate your involvement in the Lord\u2019s ministry through us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers, correspondence, and financial support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
