Day One

Today's seminar went well. Our day started at 7 a.m., with the seminar starting at noon. We met with the pastor and his wife before we began. There were 30 people in attendance for today's meeting. PW taught on the Purpose of Marriage and the Role of the Husband. The people were very interactive, laughing and responding to questions. They liked the idea they were getting homework in the marriage checkups. They wanted to know if they had to turn them in or keep them. We told them it was for their benefit and to use it personally as couples. We also gave them conversation starters to help them in their communication. Afterwards the responses were great. Many went to the pastor and told him he was right when he told them they would be blessed by the teaching. They can not wait until Monday and neither can we!There were several couples that the pastor said had troubled relationships and he was glad they came.

Afterwards we went to the pastor's home for dinner and visited with him and his wife and Richard and Anya (our translator) for several hours. We are now headed to bed to rest for tomorrow's preaching at Living Hope Church.

We are praying for you all as you worship together tomorrow!
