WEEK 22 UPDATE

July 31, 2011

Henderson’s FINAL Week 22 Update: The Marathon Has Ended! July 29, 2011 What seems like a Marathon to us is finally coming to an end. After 22 weeks of teaching the initial presentation of the story of Creation to Christ is over. It is the first of many marathons we will run. For now our […]

LAST DAY OF TEACHING (FOR NOW)

July 31, 2011

This was taken as the crowds started to disperse on the last day of teaching this past Thursday. We finished with a good size group coming to hear the final review lessons. Many are anxious to get recorders to review for the next month and they all state an interest in returning to keep learning […]

DIVORCE SETTLEMENT

July 26, 2011

We often delve into the culture here to pull out local elements to help illustrate spiritual points. If asked, “What do you think of the teaching you have heard in God’s Word? Do you agree with it?” You would get an emphatic “YES! It’s great!” from many of those who come or listen. They love […]

PINEAPPLE!

July 26, 2011

Here is a recent photo of the kids with one of the latest pineapples from our garden! Our workers are all enamored with the size of the pineapples coming out of our garden these days! Tis’ the season for fruit for us, between giant size pineapples, mounds of papaya and bushels of bananas, we are […]

LANGUAGE STUDY STILL IN A HOLDING PATTERN

July 24, 2011

Thank you for those of you who prayed for my (Elin’s) language evaluation this past week. It went well although I was told I still have a little ways to go before I am officially “finished” with formal language study. I liken it to being in a holding pattern waiting to land in the city […]

DRAWINGS IN THE SAND

July 24, 2011

I looked out my window while cooking dinner the other night and saw Phil sitting on the ground, drawing in the sand and talking with another of the leaders from the area here. This is a common sight in our yard lately and I imagine if you followed the tracks of Phil’s motorcycle around the […]

CROOKED WALLS

July 24, 2011

This past week we continued with the ongoing review lessons. This includes taking stories we have covered in the past and applying them to present truths. This is very helpful in addressing the ongoing questions and issues that many are facing and feeling as they process this new “teaching”. Since the beginning they have been […]

“HE DIED FOR US”

July 16, 2011

This week marked the end of our official “Phase One” evangelistic teaching program. It was an exciting yet emotionally exhausting week! Our hearts so desperately want to see all the people, who have been coming to hear the teaching over the past months, come to a knowledge and belief in the Savior. But, we are […]

CORE TEACHING DAY

July 11, 2011

Today we taught the death and burial of Jesus. A good crowd was on hand to hear the teaching and judging from feedback they seemed to understand clearly the core message. We didn’t ask for any public indication of whether people believed what we taught but in talking to people it was clear that they […]

BACK TO SCHOOL

July 9, 2011

The kid’s summer holiday was pretty short! After a month they are back in school. Callie starts 5th grade and Elias 3rd. Pray for them to learn well and for Elin as she teaches them.
