Stop # 4 was to check on the construction started for a chapel (see Constructive Discussion, where our primary Partner contact is talking with the pastor and his wife).  This pastor had lived on this property and had been ill for most of his life.  A visiting pastor led him to Christ and that changed his life forever in many ways, including his being healed from his illness.  With a new mind-set and heart-set, he studied to become a pastor, started a congregation and gave his land for the church building.  Nothing will wash away our sins, … like the blood of Jesus!

This all would have been a full-day, except Janice, Minh (our primary Partner contact) and I dropped the others and rode (the car and on a ferry!) in the dark of night to see a church that had been dedicated in the morning, with 700 attending that service.  From our brief visit, we could tell this beautiful church (see Open For Business) would be a beacon of light for the community.  We believe someone had given a new dedication-Bible to the church, surrounding it with flowers and elevating it on an unusual stand (see A Bible A-Rose).
