The sickness kept me from editing videos.  I’ve finally started on it again today.  We are working on a curriculum for our church that has video segments.  It should make it much easier for the workers, but it does create much more work for us.  We converted our guest room into a studio of sorts.  We’ve shot the video for the first four weeks.  Now, I’m editing it all.  When I’m done with that, we’ve got to get subtitles on it.  Our church is international and it functions with two main languages: English and Dutch.  Het kost veel tijd om iets in twee talen te doen! (It takes a lot of time to do something in two languages!)

So, while I’m working on video editing today, Mike is at the VPE congress.  The VPE is the church organization we work with here in The Netherlands.  Today is their yearly meeting.  It actually started yesterday.  Mike went yesterday to teach a seminar on children’s ministry  It’s nice that we are a team and can keep working even when we’re apart.

On Sunday morning, we led a family Sunday at ICL, the International Church of Leiden.  It was so great to be able to minister there again.  It’s been over a year, and we were amazed at how many of the children not only remembered the puppets but also things they would say and do.

On Sunday afternoon, we ministered in The Hague at Thousand Hills Church The Hague.  This was the church’s first core group meeting.

We had a great time with the kids and are expecting to see great things happen through this church.  The core group meetings will take place every other week until the church officially launches on Easter.  We will continue to help with their children’s ministry and train leaders to work with children.
