Day 11 - But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD

Tuesday July 25 - Today we started the day with our usual daily devotion under the Dome but then helped to distribute donated bags of food and dry goods to the communities of French Harbour, First Bight and Mount Pleasant. 268 5 lb bags which were packaged up by boys from the orphanage and distributed by Pastor Rupert and the team over the next 2 days to families in great need.


It was day 2 of day camp when over 300 children attended to do much the same as the previous the previous day. You can well imagine the controlled chaos that camp coordinator, Darcie, the leaders and over 30 camp counsellors had to deal with. The lesson of the day was on Jairus’ faith in Jesus to heal his sick daughter,  the miraculous healing of a woman who had been sick for 12 years, as well as, raising Jairus’ daughter from the dead.


Shortly after day camp, the men quickly turned around to prepare for the Men’s Event. This year’s RAM team had a large contingent of men who would serve the men of Roatan from different parts of the island. Charles had prayed for 100 men to attend and this was exceeded and more; breaking numbers from previous years. Hosted by Tío Charles, a worship team from French Harbour lead off the event with a series of worship songs. This was followed by a testimony feom Geraldt about the importance of men meeting together and then a message from Pastor Darrell from Joshua 24; exhorting men to remain faithful to God and choose who they will serve. The men were then served a delicious meal and the night ended with worship songs.

  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
