During our class on Friday we made cheesecake and because it needed to sit overnight, I invited the ladies to church on Sunday and then to eat cheesecake afterwards, which they all thought was a great idea. Me too!
The ladies hard at work!
During the service I shared my testimony and
explained how to become a Christian.
It was my hope and prayer that they would start to think
more about Jesus, and becoming a Christian
This is the pastors wife, and she translated my
testimony into Japanese

The cheesecake turned out really well, and I made the topping
myself from frozen berries bought at Costco!
smiles all around!
Delicious in Japanese= Oishii!
Afterwords, we had a kids program. Our team was the
Panda's. The little boy in the front is a new student
and he was very excited to join the party for the first time!!!
Thank you for all your prayers and support. It meant a lot to me to know that you were praying for a successful day, and that God heard your prayers. I had a nice talk with the ladies that came to church. It was the first time for some of them. Continue to pray for the students, the pastor and church members, and for me. Becoming part of a different culture has some challenges and I want to be sensitive to the needs of the people. I'm learning that building relationships takes time, but its so worth it. Arigatou!
Very Good, Melanie!
ReplyDeleteI miss that cheesecake or any cheesecake for that matter. In Togo we haven't found cream cheese but we may have found something similar to it at the Lebanese place called Labane. It sort of tastes like cream cheese so maybe this week we will have to try baking it in cheesecake form to see if it works.
