we had few things to accomplish at sinai restoration centre.
1. paint and refurbish the library.

offering yourself to God is what worship is all about.:)
worship is far more than music.
anything you do that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship.

our daily morning devotions and praise and worship.God speaks to us in many ways..

gathering together and commiting the time unto the lord before our night rally at the tribal hill.our first rally.despite the chilly cold weather, uneven floor and language barrier.the rally ended well.and we continue to pray that the seed of God is firmly planted in the hearts of the people.amen.

at the youth rally.praising His glorious name.:)

praying for God's annointing touch upon the children that is hungry and thirsty for His word.it's amazing to see how God use us as His mighty vessel to touch the lives of this people.as we spoke in tongues and prayed for them..there were cries..slaints...

offering prayers unto the creator and maker of all things before the youth rally.

the bible says 'use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God.'
