Tearful Testimonies
Today the seniors organized chapel as a response to their retreat. It lasted well into third period. They did a few group songs, and there were several Bible readings and sharing. Two students seemed to give their testimony (it was in Chuukese). There were tears at the pulpit and in the audience as F-Cina and then Isaiah spoke. After Isaiah's testimony, he and Frank (pot-smoking, betel-nut-chewing, continually misbehaving Frank) sang a duet. Again, it was in Chuukese, but "Wow!" Wow their voices, and wow God's change in Frank - to see him sing in chapel! Alvin spoke last and gave an invitation to which many students responded (including many of the girls from my freshmen class). Chapel closed with a prayer offered by Ricken. Pray for those who accepted the invitation to receive Christ for the first time as well as those seniors and underclassmen who re-dedicated their lives to Him. Praise God for the harvest among Mizpah Christian High School students.
Also, praise God for the rain. Our tank is half full!
Last but not least, pray for the copier to get fixed. Yes, our copy machine broke, which is a headache for teachers and students alike, so it'd be great if it could be fixed or replaced pronto.
Katie shared in staff devos how God cares for us. If we can trust Him with the most important thing: salvation, can't we trust him with all the small things? And if he cares for all the small things, like the birds and the flowers, will he not care for the more important things, His people created in His image?
