Last night we were invited to fellowship with a home cell group from the Protestant Church, which met in a home located down a long side alley in Papeete. There we sang songs of praise in Tahitian and French, and then I was invited to share the Word. I taught on the endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures, which give us hope, and hope in turn gives us joy and perseverance. The message seemed to be well-received. It is a special pleasure for us to fellowship with people who love Jesus and hunger for His word. The video is a short excerpt of the praise from last night.
Our translator, Tepoe (Teh po ee), did a wonderful job of conveying words and meaning. The group was enthusiastic and responsive, and eager for me. Friday night we will continue with an new lesson on submission of our whole selves to the Lord from Romans 6.
Tepoe also recommended that we fellowship at Pain de Vie (Bread of Life) church in Papara, a ways down the coast from our place in Punaauia. 19 months ago we actually stopped at that church to introduce ourselves, but there was a memorial service taking place so we went on our way. Recently we heard that there is a revival happening at that church, and so we had planned already to try and visit there. They are so on fire that they have a Bible study at 730 AM on Sundays in addition to their regular services. So, we can't wait to be with them at last!
Today we are visiting the Pito family in Taravao... more pictures later!
