Update from the PIU Yap MinistryTeam

Here is an update from the Pacific Islands University Yap Summer Ministry Team sent to us by team member Josh Ladd...

"We are performing at the Yap High School tomorrow at lunch time. It is not a mandatory requirement for the kids to come watch but they can come watch us if they want. We will be sharing a little about PIU but the main topic is completely about Jesus and what He has done for us. So please
pray that the kids at the high school will have softened hearts and will have a desire to know Jesus. Pray that the Holy Spirit will work through us with boldness and that we will be protected from any spiritual attack trying to distract us from the plans that God has for us.. Jesse (Hartt) will be sharing his testimony with Grate (Nokar) giving a message and myself doing the Cross skit as Jesus and "MCing" the program. Also pray for our group that we will continue to be motivated. It seems the excitement of being in a new place is starting to wear out (which was to be expected) so it is harder to get motivated to practice. So just pray that our group will have endurance from the Spirit and a focus and vision for what really matters and for why we are here. We are still working hard and getting it done, but we just need to keep persevering.

The Sunday services went good last week and we performed our program at the Yapese service and English night service. Lucy (Aunu) shared her testimony in the morning and Jesse shared his impromptu at the night service. I preached on Mark 1:16-20 both times. We are doing the same program again this Sunday at the Palauan church and will probably continue to perform it at various churches. So please keep praying for that as well."

The PIU Yap TF office manager Charity Sam updated Josh's update with this Facebook status, "The Yap Ministry Team has been a great IMPACT today !!They have left an IMPACT on Yap High School Ground this very day!!! Showers of blessings right before the actual time to start. 12:00 hits, The sun came out!!! The Lord is Good! Now their practicing for another quality time with the youth tonight!!"

The team has several more weeks of ministry on Yap and we would appreciate all your prayers for them.
