Day 2 - Sunday Best

 

Sunday July 16 - The full team attended and served at Sunday morning service at First Baptist Church in Coxen Hole. This would be the first full team event for the mission so everyone brought their best  before the Lord.

The afternoon event was God's Girls and Daughters of the King at the Roatan Bilingual School (ESBIR) where the majority of the RAM events are held. Please pray for all these young girls of Roatan who attended that they may come to know the love of Jesus and His heart's desire for each of them.



Some girls only go to school on weekends so are not able to attend church on Sundays.One of the girls who was able to attend a private school from Monday - Friday mentioned that she really enjoyed Sunday school because the teacher would take their time to explain everything. Jasmine had a great time leading the braiding and beads workshop. She gave the girls an opportunity to pick their own colours, which they loved, because it gave them a chance to have some autonomy!

Day 2 - Sunday July 14  Early morning walking crew 6:30am - Great to get exercise together and explore the town before it got too hot. We enjoyed building community with other team members as the Florida and Toronto team unite to serve together. It was so precious to hear team members’ stories of how they came to Christ and how God led them to serve in this mission. We were encouraged to see how God had orchestrated and ordained for each person to be here, each with different skills and different passions and different gifts to share. Morning God story Our team met the hotel wait staff who were serving us breakfast in the morning. She asked us what our group was doing for the day and we were able to share with them about the different girls camp events we would be running this afternoon.

The waitress politely declined as she doesn’t have the financial resources to pay for t...
