The Sabbath is for all humans

Today we attempted to go to church for the 7am service but on our way we found out that the bridge had been washed out and it would take over a half an hour to get around the bridge so we decided to go back to the guest house and have our own service. 

We used technology and had Pastor Bob preach using the Wooster GBC website.  Our impromptu service turned out to be a very special time.  The message Pastor Bob preached matched very well with our team devotions on Saturday night. 

We enjoyed a time of sharing about how God has worked in all of our lives to allow us to be here to serve Him using our time and talents. We all believe God has brought us here to fulfill His plan in our lives.  The sacrifice of each of us to be away from our loved ones strengthens our faith in God's plan. 

After church we went out for breakfast at the French Cafe' and then we headed out of town to Boali to see the water falls.  It was fun to get out of town and see smaller villages  We got to hold some monkeys at the water falls and see God's handiwork and beauty of the water fall full of water from the rainy season. 

Then the guys walked across a cable walk way that crosses the river just before it goes over the falls.  For lunch we stopped at a roadside grill we called our McDonald's, we bought meat and sodas and headed up to the ICDI radio station to have a picnic.  We toured the radio station and then headed back to Bangui.  It was nice to have some time to relax and see some new things.
