Bahamas Mission Day 2

This morning after breakfast and devotions we loaded up and headed to our ministry site for the week - a Baptist church in a mostly Haitian section of town. We sorted out our supplies and set up for VBS. When we started we had about 10 children there. By the time we ended we had 35 kids. We had songs, a Bible lesson, crafts, snacks, and games. After the kids left we had lunch then spent a couple of hours shoveling and wheelbarrowing fill into the church in preparation for the cement floor that we are planning to pour this week. The team worked hard and it was a great day. When we returned to camp, about half of our team headed to a canal for some swimming. The other half stayed at camp to shower. We have all now cleaned up and are heading in for dinner and chapel. Thanks for continuing to pray for us!

  2. Thanks Darlene. I just got word that Rachel has returned to the mission base she was staying at. Her planned flight home is tomorrow. The doctors did a CT scan and it was clear. Continuing to pray for God's safety and healing over her, especially as she travels the long way home tomorrow. Thank you for praying and for your comment.
