What an amazing Sunday we've had!  We praise the Lord for a wonderful attendance of 285 adults and 200 children, with 6 adults saved today.  This was the culmination of a weekend of preparation for "Friend Day," with our good friends from North Park Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. Pastor Tim Thompson did a wonderful job preaching an excellent "Friend Day" message.  At least 30 people came to the altar for personal issues besides those who were saved.  Our people did a great job getting their friends signed up for the day, and many, many people actually came to honor their promise. 

Mary and I could not have asked for a better Sunday to start off this new term.  Having arrived in country this past Monday, this was our first Sunday to be back in Arusha.
