Work goes on...

The last few days have been quite busy. We have been engaged in preparation for the SMACC kids club which starts next Monday. Most of the work has been cutting out cardboard and drawing fish-like shapes on paper. It is mundane stuff but joyful when you know who you're doing it for. A verse which continues to encourage me:

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

(1 Cor 15:58)
The first SMACC guest night happened last night. It was a very posh meal at the Amada hotel and I think most of us ate far too much. The talk (given by Sam) was titled "Is there such a thing as truth?" Sam spoke on John 14:6 and gave a challenging message to all of us. Praise God for some great conversations over dinner, and please pray for a non-Christian guy I met on Sunday who came along, that there would be more opportunities to chat with him, and that he may know the truth and the truth would set him free.
We are going on Thursday to Tasik Cini, a rural inland settlement inhabited by Orang Asli - indigenous minority peoples. Please pray for opportunities with them and for God to help us with language barriers - they don't speak English. We'll be organizing activities for the children. Pray too that God would keep his people safe.
