Klay and Lisa from Arkansas

Lisa and Klay are here from Arkansas. They will be here with us tor two days and presenting a seminar on how to counsel others. These two days will be opened to the leaders of the surrounding congregations. Klay will be discussing techniques on counseling family issues and also problems within the church.

Josefina began translating for Klay and then Kemmel helped. The translating was difficult at times. Come concepts or terminology do not translate equally and so you must be creative in how you do so.

Thoughts from the seminar included that we must not forget the grace that which we are saved by. Klay talked about how come cultures have lost the act of "sharing" and we must return to it. When Christ died for us He was being being submissive and we must model Christ. Satan has always wanted to divide.......God's plan is unity. We must not always be "correct." When we have a relationship with someone......it is the entity that is between or the relationship that is more important than the two people.

These are just a few thoughts from the two days. They are by no means the most important or in order. A lot of Christian principles that I think many people have forgotten.

For lunch, we were served at two large tables. We were served chicken pepian.

With the pepian came rice, potatoes and salad. It was delicious.

I know that people left with many thoughts and ideas. Good seed was planted. We need more unity. Isn't that what Christ prayed for? I hope that more classes like this are offered in the future.
