Palm Sunday in Pattoki

Today began by visiting 3 new church starts in Pattoki. These very, very poor churches were birthed from a previous evangelistic campaign and 3 evangelists have taken the pastor roles. In the last 2 churches, we ordained the pastors & also 4 other elders in the church. We started this morning @ 8:30 and just returned back to our hotel now at 8:30 pm...a long day & haven't had our evening meal yet; it will be at 10-12 pm.

The churches today are in Muslim communities, so we were careful not to draw attention to ourselves, but upon entering every church, we proceeded through a welcome line of palm branches & rose petals!
Then we were honored again with the flower leis.2nd Palm Sunday Processional

In the first church this morning was a young man who began reading scripture to begin the service. David later told us this boy had been demon possessed in his last visit & had been delivered. He was now leading in the worship service! Not too many stories like that around Texas.... this was an incredible Palm Sunday! The following 3 video links will give you a glimpse from beginning to end. Pure Worship,
Palm Sunday Processional, Ordination by Night. Thanks to those of you commenting on the blog & remembering us in prayer; it is encouraging to know who is following. Tomorrow begins the second crusade. We are all physically & emotionally spent, but the yearning to see more of what we have already seen takes over daily.
