The service started out by honoring Pastor Sargent and his wife Vicki, for their service to the Lord. Well, Pastor thought it was just that, but it ended up being more than that. Our deacons and school principal were behind the scenes preparing for a skit that Bro. McClure invited them to participate in. The skit was based on the ceremonial customs of the country of Palau. It was a great adventure and lesson for all to learn. It was also very entertaining when they presented Pastor Sargent with a raw fish to eat. Do you think he partook?
Brother McClure has really been blessed with the ability of storytelling. This is one of the primary ways they reach the tribes in Palau and it seems to work very well. They have been missionaries there now for ten years.
Based on the pictures we saw, Palau looks like a beautiful place and a place that needs to be visited, indeed!
Steve and I were also given the opportunity to take them out to lunch and that was such a blessing! You can tell they have been married for a while because they think a like on so many levels. They are very fun people to be around and they love to fellowship.
We will continue to pray for their ministry, the people of Palau, and for the time they are in the states on furlough. May the Lord bless their efforts!
