If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 2 Corinthians 5:13-15 (NIV)
Pastor Esteban demonstrated amazing hospitality throughout the weekend. His wife mad amazing food and his daughter Uri was a joy to talk to during our Monday evening dinner. Pastor Esteban was the last one we saw Tuesday morning as we stopped on our way home in Troutdale. God is so good to allow us to visit with him briefly one more time at his place of employment.
Singing songs unto the LORD seemed to be of great value to each congregation that we joined on Sunday.
My heart was grabbed by the diversity of people groups from around the globe that all worshipped in one building. One prayer is that they would be One.
It was mentioned in the Micronesian Church that the island of Micronesia isn't even visible on some maps, because it is so small. However, "For God so loved the world" and He loves this group of people so much, that His Gospel truth reached them. Praise Him! It blessed my heart to contemplate His LOVE while sitting in their church service. Thank you, LORD, Christy
I agree that the singing was a "huge part" of our day. It was great and refreshing especially at Pastor Pershon's home after the evening service. Thanks for sharing, Christy.

The singing was a huge part! I loved Sunday night when we all were praising God, no matter what ethnicity or language we speak.
