So, we have a very small house in Jhon Hocking that we are borrowing...what a blessing to have people who will loan a house, however small it is, to us to use for the Lord's work. We ordered 12 stools and a podium in December, thinking it would be here in January when we got back. However, they didn't come until we were ready to use them here in Jhon Hocking...in God's perfect timing. We also finally got to meet the Mr. Jhon Hocking himself. That is him in the picture with Pastor Dario. He was born here in Pucallpa (his parents were missionaries) and he went to the States for college, met and married his wife, and has returned here to Pucallpa. He has lived here for the last 40 years. He is now the pastor of a small evangelical church here in San Jose (very close to Jhon Hocking Weeks) and we were very glad to finally meet him. Right now, in JHW, we have three services during the week and three levels of Sunday School on Sunday (Adult and teens, Adolescents, and children). The children come to all of them...we are trying to find a way to remedy that...we love having the children, but because it is such a small building, we don't have space for them to come to everything. We really need some adults who are interested in helping with the children. We average about 28 children at all times, and we had 3 adults at the last service. We only have 12 stools, so we have the kids sit on a tarp in the middle of the room and the adults and older children get the stools. We are hoping to be able to purchase property soon to have a permanent place to hold services. Please remember these things in your prayers.
