 Pastor Danny, senior pastor of a church founded by overseas workers in 1954, has been overseeing a project to build a house for guests and visiting workers assisting the community since February this year. Work was slow because church members have very little time aside from their regular jobs and three months of labour had only yielded the beginning foundation. A young, enthusiastic team of ten from Doulos worked tirelessly at the building site and by the final day, the home was more than half finished. Pastor Danny gratefully exclaimed, “We have been so blessed to have you here with us! We were really in need of manpower; you have helped bring this building up!” |

 Crewmembers excitedly piled into the back of covered pick-up trucks with costumes and props for a twenty minute drive up to the venue to be used for the Doulos International Night. As a community gymnasium was transformed for the show, crewmembers practiced their items and prepared their hearts for the performance. Though the auditorium could only hold several hundred people, thousands more had the opportunity to listen in to the event and challenging message through a national radio broadcast. At the end, all around the crowd, men and women were clearly moved by what they had heard. After the show, crewmembers spent time with many individuals, answering their questions and praying with different ones. |
