Teamwork

I love our church in Tonj. Everyone pitches in to cover the work that needs to be done. Especially when Sabet is gone (he usually preaches and does worship) people need to step up... and they do. Our typical service looks like this:

Dinka songs with the kids

Kids released for Sunday School

English/Kiswahili worship songs



(George, Abraham, Dennis and Pritty leading us in Kiswahili songs)



(No one cares if you can't sing. Evidenced by them asking me to help!)

Corporate Prayer

Announcements/Offering

Greet One Another

Reading of the Scripture

Teaching

Closing prayer/song

Fellowship with tea and coffee.




(Tea anyone?)




(Margaret, me and Stephanie)

Some of the duties we cover are: set up/break down, Sunday School, MC (person who guides the service along), teaching, singing and refreshments. Not all of us feel equipped to do the jobs, but God gets us through. You can help us by praying for the church in the following ways:

1. Guidance and wisdom for Sabet as he leads us

2. Additional help in Sunday School. We have so many kids come and it is becoming too much to handle. One teacher and a translator may have 50 kids (ages 1-13ish). We need the parents to get involved. Many kids come without their parents. We want them to come too!

3. We want to move the church out of our compound into the community in order to make it more accessible to the people of Tonj. We need to find a good location, build a simple structure and find locals to get involved with the church.
