Today we joined in worship with the Naulakha Presbyterian Church in Lahore. It was a rich experience - Rev. Sandy Murray from our group preached the sermon, and Rev. Ed Morgan gave greetings on our behalf. After worship we met with a group of young people and church elders, and we shared with each other the various missions and ministries of our churches and presbyteries. Like many of our churches, they are involved in serving the poor, in providing medical care, and in flood relief.
One of our ministries that they were very interested in was our Leadership Development for Ministry program. They are interested in building leadership within their own congregation, and were excited to learn about what we are doing in the US.
One of the purely fun parts of the morning was having the church children ask to have their pictures taken with us, I guess this was our brush with being celebrities!
Lunch at a local restaurant with the pastor and his family, a relaxing afternoon, and dinner with the executive director of PEB and friends, and a round of "Who can top this?" rounded out the evening. In case you were wondering, 2 men and 3 goats on a small motorcycle trumps 8 people on a small motorcyle!
Stay tuned for more!
