A Unique Day, Doulos style…

Tuesday’s normally our “day off”… that is, when we have time to prepare for the next formal ministry day.  Yesterday, we needed to visit the Doulos (www.mvdoulos.org) which is docked in Cebu until 10 February. We want the Deaf kids at LLCE to visit the ship and wanted to arrange things with the ships’ crew.

As in all things in the life we live in Christ, you just never know where, exactly, He will lead you in a day. It’s a marvelous thing to experience and we had one of those experiences yesterday.

We were told onboard that since the Governor of Cebu Province, Hon. Gwen Garcia, was visiting the official opening of the ships’ docking, we couldn’t speak with anyone about scheduling since it was, understandably, a busy day. They took our business card and would call us when they had a chance.

So we visited the bookshop and afterwards, had an ice cream and a cookie at the small little snack counter onboard. We were departing the ship (laden with books of course [smile]), when one of the crew approached us and asked us if we’d like a tour of the ship. Of course, we said yes.

That is how the Lord had us meet Hong Jun Soon. Amazing how the Lord moves in our lives. What a delightful and wonderful sister in the Lord we met. We spent 2-3 hours in the tour and sitting in the galley just talking about how our Lord Jesus moves in our individual lives.

We had a wonderful afternoon (even spoke briefly with the extremely affable Captain Pat Tracy in his civvies no less!)… we will be returning with the LLCE kids on 3 February at 10 a.m…. and Mindy and Jun Soon hope to have a lunch with our unsaved Korean neighbor across the street from us who Mindy’s been having a Bible study with each week… please pray that she accepts and that God seizes her by the Power of His Great Affection…
