Our arrival at the school
Us 'old' people were merely arriving to gather our youths that had been spending time at the school. One of the host teachers, David, insisted that we all go to the front and participate in the service. We were rather enjoying watching our youth from afar, but that was not to be. David explaied that the students were 'hurting their necks' turning around to watch us.

We continued to watch their program which was filled with touching song and exhortation. Each of us introduced ourselves to the assembly talking a little about why were were there and thanking them for their hospitality. They laughed often at the way we talked and the stories we told.

After introductions Marie was asked to read some scripture and talk to the studends for a few minutes. She did a wonderful job and shared Jeremiah 29:11 and talked about she applied it in her life. Then it was time for the our 'Youth Group' to bring a little American worship to the crowd. Willie was a pro and Marie and Syd were backing the show. They were awesome! We were so proud.
What a setting to be worshipping our Lord.
Scott was asked to close the time in prayer on a moments notice, but God carried him through. It was another magical time and such beautiful youth to spend some time with. It's great that even in the public schools God is not only acknowledged, but is the center of the school and what the youth look towards; a little different that our American system.

Great times are had at every visit we have in the schools. We are so blessed by them
I felt like their music was coming over the ocean! Were their faces "lit" when they sang?
