Sharing Food

Felt Art - Red Sea Crossing

Driver working on the van

Thanks again for your prayers. I would like to share some highlights of the trip. We had church with the believers in the village, but it was a little different. We asked if they could bring a meal with them because we wanted to eat with them. So, they brought their fish and plantains and we had our American sandwiches. Some of us ate their fish and plantains and most of them ate the sandwiches. So we ate, we laughed, we sang, we prayed, and we studied God’s word all in His name. It was such a sweet time; we were one in heart and one spirit. We also shared about God and prayed for each other; It was very impact for all of us. This is the first time we have done this type of fellowship together. They are looking forward to the next one as we are also. We also had a good time serving the kids with games, songs, and Bible study (the story of God parting the sea). We used felt art for visual effects that Fellowship Baptist donated to us. Everyone, even the adults, enjoyed participating in the story. There are still babies that are sick. It seems that their water system is now dirty. We are planning to, somehow, find out what we can do about getting it fixed. We already spoke with some friends that work for the water company. On the way back we had a problem with our transportation. We had to stop and our friend and driver got to work. It seems it was the ball bearing. The sound was horrible, two metals heating together. We still had a long ways to go, but praise God we got out of the muddy part of the trip. So our driver drove very slowly and carefully. We started praying and thank God we a ll made it home safely. Again thank you for our prayers. We know God was with us!
