Palau Ministry Team Training

We had the Palau team over to our house last night for some dinner, training and fellowship. You can read more about them here from a pervious post. We had a great conversation around the dinner table. The students told Joyce and I about their goals for the trip, how they thought that God was leading them to contribute to the team and what they hoped to learn from the trip. We also told a lot of funny stories about cross-cultural issues, strange things we have eaten and ministry predicaments we have found ourselves in. We also got to share our own life stories and family background around the table to help prepare the team to be comfortable to be open about what God has done in their lives in Palau. We finished the evening with a time of prayer. Life is not always easy here, but these are the kind of nights that make it all feel worthwhile.
