When you visit a new church, you might look around and ask yourself, \u201cWho is the Preacher here?\u201d You might look for the man wearing a tie or someone sitting up on the platform with a Bible in his lap.
\nThis past Sunday, after arriving to the church in the village, one of our kids leaned over to Ginger and asked, \u201cWho do you think will be teaching today?\u201d Ginger replied and suggested one or two of the men who usually teaches. Our child then replied, \u201cI think it will be Joseph or Gerry.\u201d Ginger inquired, \u201cWhy do you think it is one of them?\u201d \u201cBecause they are both wearing shoes today!\u201d replied our child.<\/p>\n

Our church over here doesn\u2019t look like your church in many ways. For examples, instead of soft padded chairs, we have hard bamboo benches; instead of carpeted floors, we have a dirt floor.
\nHere is one more example of how our church doesn\u2019t look like yours: after the Sunday service, Stephen asked the church if he could take a group picture for a presentation he is preparing. All the members gathered around the front for a picture, along with two dogs!<\/p>\n

However, the one thing that we do have in common with your church is God\u2019s Word. That is our foundation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
