Day 9 - The hands and feet of Jesus

Sunday July 23 - Today marked the end of the first full week of ministry. Bonnie started our day off with a powerful devotion on staying true to the Lord; exhorting us all to do so despite any circumstance.


The team attended service at First Baptist Church on the Wesr End where we were warmly welcomed. We would say good bye to a number of our team including Kimberley and Dan but not before they had lead us in worship. Pastor Darrell preached a sermon from John 5, the healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda, on faith. Darla and Charles were given an opportunity to invite the church to our remaining events this coming  week.


The Youth on Fire event lead by Erin and Pastor Joel was attended by almost 90 teens from various parts of the island. They were engaged through worship music, a team building activity requiring them to work together in a balloon relay and creative art activity to design a hand which would later be put on a poster; representative of the diversity of this community.


After these activities, Pastor Joel used a demonstration to teach on how to crowd out the noise of the world and keep their focus on God. Finally, the teens were served a meal, prayed for and dismissed with each taking home a bag of school supplies.

  Welcome to the 2023 edition of the Roatan Alive Mission (RAM)!!!  This year's theme was impressed upon our team leader and ministry co-founder, Darla Sutherland, which came during her personal devoted prayer time for the mission. The Lord impressed on her Zechariah 1:3 - "Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty."  In a sense, this will be a return for the mission since there has been a hiatus,  due to the pandemic,  for many journeying back to Roatan  This year's trip promises to be one of the largest teams ever going, with over 40 committed; half being from Canada and the other half from Miami. Planning and prayer meetings have already been well underway. Today, we gathered to  plan and pray over the logistics for the trip as well as for the fundraiser on Saturday June 4th. The fundraiser will be held at the missions' sending church, Cornerston
