Greet one another with a holy kiss - 2 Cor.13:12
DAY 1 - Saturday, July 14 - We are on the ground in Roatan ... We arrived in Coxen Hole at 1:22PM local time and what a welcome!!! The local airport was just a sea of yellow shirts as the teams that had arrived earlier from Toronto, Connecticut and Miami were there to welcome us to Roatan. After being expedited through immigration a lady asked me at the baggage carousel asked me what group we were with. When I told her Roatan Alive and that our events were at ESBIR, her face immediately lit up and she thanked us for coming and that she appreciated all the work that we had been doing over the years. We were all then shuttled by our faithful and skillful drivers, Edgar and Johan, for a delicious Roatan lunch at a local restaurant where the cook is a relation of Darla.... the running joke is that Darla is related to half the island, which I believe to be only half the truth. - DC

Image
Thursday  July 10 - Two more sleeps before the RAM Toronto team takes flight for Roatan for the 18th edition of the Roatan Alive Mission. This year's mission theme verse is "Created in God's image" from Genesis 1:27. The team was preceded to Roatan by leaders Darla and Charles Sutherland who were able to receive the shipment of donations and mission supplies coming via the Florida contingent of the team. With the help of a group of eager volunteers, the supplies were quickly packed away in preparation for the team's arrival this weekend. - Darren The Toronto team wrapped up their preparations by having a final prayer and preparation meeting on Wednesday. The entire RAM team are thankful for and covet your prayers for the various events and outreach activities that will occur as well as for those who the Lord will call and use.

Day 12 - Day Camp Finale

Image
Wednesday July 24 -  Day Camp – Day 3 -  As we wrapped up Day Camp, some students had learned the memory verse and were able to recite them with enthusiasm and pride. A simple prize like an HB pencil motivated the students to sit quietly, listen, participate, and memorize the verse. My Spanish counterpart and I taught the lesson based on the memory verse found in Romans 12:2 (“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”)  The first day of camp, we discussed what the verse means. The second day, we looked at the conversion of Saul to Paul. Finally, we studied the calling of the twelve disciples; how they were transformed from fishing for fish to “fishers of men.” It never ceases to amaze me how children as young as four years old can grasp the message of stories from the Bible. Please pray with us that these children will co...

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? - Rom 10:14-15 Saturday July 12 - The majority of the Roatan Alive Mission team started their journeys to Roatan during the wee hours of the morning today from different cities in North America. They appreciated prayers for travelling mercies to the island. Meanwhile, preparations continued this week for the first two events, "God's Girls" and "Daughters of the King", which will be held on Sunday afternoon. The speakers will be Minister Tara Owens and Bibianna Green (Spanish).
