The Sunday Jon Came ... April 10th 2011

• Jan is a Lahu man whom we have known for over 20 years. He was one of our students in the Bible College in which we used to teach many years ago. He and his wife and children are faithful servants of the Lord. Jan has a home for children who have not been able to be cared for. Some of the children are orphans, some have parents who are too poor or too sick to care for them.  There are 14 children in all.  The building where the children stay is falling down, leaking, and is not at all suitable to keep the children. Jan is busy trying to find money to build something more substantial for the children to live in.  We are teaching our congregation to be more about giving than receiving.  They raised over a hundred US Dollars to give to Jan and the children.  We invited Jon to preach and then presented him with the gift for building the housing for the children.

Jan's sermon was about the Christian life... more than going to church and reading the Bible, it is a life changed, an offering of your life to serve the Lord.  Jon's life reflects what he preaches.
