“And who is my neighbour?” - Luke 10:25b

 

Monday July 20 - What a day it’s been! We kicked off the day with devotion led by Tio Charles reminding us why we are here and how God has called us to do His work. Reminder to live our lives with the Spirit of God alive and working in our lives as we engage with the Roatan people we will meet today. We enjoyed a precious time of prayer and sending off at ESBIR, before we handed out flyers and shared Christ with those we met in the neighborhood.

Hannah and I enjoyed a precious time together with our Spanish speaking teammates. We had the opportunity to connect with the locals, get to know them by name and sharing with them about why we are here and inviting them to come out to various events over the next 2 weeks. We had a beautiful opportunity to pray for a new friend we met as she shared with us about some of her personal family challenges and some recent health concerns a loved one was facing. We were able to hear her story and pray for her and share God’s blessing with her. Hannah was so moved by the openness and warmth of the local people we met. And we are all so excited to have a chance to reconnect with them again when they come out to all the upcoming events we will be hosting. - Joanne

In the afternoon, I was so encouraged to enjoy a special time serving alongside the local ladies as we prepare ESBIR for the upcoming marriage conference tomorrow. Not only did I have a privilege of setting up and serving together with these lovely ladies…I was encouraged by their faithfulness to serve their community and also blessed as I heard more of their own personal stories. What an encouragement to hear how God has been their cornerstone and shelter throughout different ups and downs they have faced and are facing. - Joanne

"Let your light shine before others.."

  In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. - Matthew 5:16 Sunday July 20 - Youth on fire 🔥 was a tremendous blessing. My heart is always for young people. I always love to witness and enjoy them because the young generation is who the enemy is after.   Praise and worship was awesome by Kim and Dan. The word that pastor Joel bought forth was amazing. He spoke about the young servant girl who God used to help Naaman cleansed from his leprosy 2 Kings 5 1-14 and he also mentioned the little boy in John chapter 6, who had 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes that he was willing to give up to feed thousands of people and Jesus took it and multiplied it and everyone was fed. He showed the young people that God can also use them at a young age. The youth got a chance to do arts and craft. They made keychains with the verse created in his image Genesis 1: 27 and their names on the ...

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?
