Day 4 Sunday

Sunday has arrived, and so have we. Most managed a full nights sleep, Paul & Hannah and Gemma all chose not to bother with the whole sleep thing and stay awake all night. For those of you who struggled with the clock change last night you may be pleased to know that the meeting here started at 8am and we remained at the church's premises until 3:30pm. During which time Ha-Nah had the joy of leading worship in Khmer and Mike played guitar. What a combination - a worship leader who doesn't normally lead worship teamed up with a guitar player who doesn't normally play guitar all sung in a language they don't normally speak - this is cutting edge out of the ordinary stuff. I spoke three times in the morning. During the last one and half hour marathon talk Hannah and Gemma decided the best way for them to stay awake was to hold a competition watching the rest of the team to see who was best at falling asleep without showing it. The looser was Paul who apparently stares blankly into space before the colour drains from his face and his eyes finally give in to the inevitable and close. The easy winner was Mike, as he manages to fall asleep with great elegence whilst staying upright. Whilst this was something of a revelation to Hannah and Gemma it is a well known fact to those of us who regularly preach at Jubilee. Mike is a practiced and experienced falling asleeper during sermons ... During the morning meeting I was able to tell of Gemma's remarkable healing last October which gave us the priviledge of praying for two dear ladies with HIV. Rest day on Monday - off to the Russian market for the girls to go shopping. I seem to remember there is a good cofee shop nearby so it is not all bad news.
