Message from Pastor Movel to Pastor Bob

Dear Pastor Bob,

Greetings!

We have just returned from our mission today, May 11, 2025. We visited Timmuri Church with Pastor Jeter Hulay and others. My son drove the car for almost an hour from our area. Then we left the car by the roadside and hiked for nearly 45 minutes to reach Timmuri. It was almost dark when we arrived, and we had to use flashlights along the way.

As we approached the small chapel, we saw 3 children waiting for us, waving their flashlights. Their mother was there as well, already cooking food in anticipation of our arrival! They greeted us joyfully and warmly. After a short rest, they served us black coffee with sweet potatoes.

While the woman was cooking, two elders came to visit us. We had a wonderful time of fellowship that evening. After our late-night fellowship, they invited us to sleep on the chapel floor.

Early in the morning, around 3:00 AM, some of the members came to begin preparing food. Then, as more members arrived this morning, we started our Sunday service. The children presented a special number, and almost everyone present shared their testimony. After the service, we shared a lunch fellowship with all who attended.

Later in the afternoon, we did house visitations. We visited a sick father and prayed for him as well.

Blessings,

In Him,

Movel
