dream four (040911)

I went to bed at about 11pm. Hubby was sleepy around the same time too! That in itself is a miracle. We usually go to bed at different times. We started praying for our preparation for the trip and for the students we will be teaching.
I fell asleep after a while, and in that brief time, just before i woke up at 12.30am, i had a dream about teaching in a lecture theatre, where rows and rows of people were listening. I was stirring up the congregation to go forth to the harvest fields, to march in obedience to the Command and Clarion Call of our Lord. Up and down the rows i went, singing and encouraging them. Some joined me.
When i woke up, hubby had left the room for a while and was in the living room. I went to him and shared with him my dream. I could still remember the song i sang, and sang out a couple of lines to him. It was not a very long song to begin with.
I wonder whether it was what we prayed about in tongues...

aneityum (aka new hebrides)

Dr John Geddie (1815-1872) went to Aneityum in 1848 and worked there for 24 years.

Written in his memory are these words:

When he landed, in 1848, there were no Christians.
When he left, in 1872, there were no heathens.
