8:30 AM going to worship service. The sky is cloudy and there is a slight mist in the air. I am riding with Obi-Wan*. The roads seem to be washed out more this week as we have had a lot of rain. We make it to the village where we will have service, first stopping to visit the village chief Bossk*. He is a tall older man who always greets with a big hand shake and a warm smile. Bossk has 7 wives and 30 grandchildren. I pray that he will become a believer soon. Reaching the round, straw-topped hut at the edge of the village, I see an old single cylinder diesel engine which I think is used to power a grinder or a seed press. There are plots of corn, peanuts, potatoes and kasaba planted all around and the bright green grass that testifies to presence of the rainy season is three feet high on the sides of the foot paths. As 5 believers step into the hut, at least 15 children follow behind. The hut is 12 feet in diameter with one bed, 2 benches and 2 chairs, there isn’t a lot of room left. Service starts with prayer and the sermon/discussion covers 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. How to be happy or have joy in hard times is the God-point today. As the service progressed, other people came in and out of the hut some of the congregation breastfed while some spit on the floor Chief Bossk stopped by and asked us to go to his Uncles funeral after we were done and a rooster crowed three times outside the door. We talked to Han Solo* about writing music for the Christians of Geonosis*. I know in my heart that they will worship with their own music and I will have tears of joy on that day.
I would like to remind everyone that Ramadan is being observed around the world until September 19th. Please pray during this month of fasting that the Most High God would reveal himself to the Muslims and that they would hear and see.
