Our desire for this trip was to bring honor to God by
sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and encouraging
folks who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ to live according to
the principles of the Bible so they can honor God as well as experience
His best for their lives.
Here is a picture of William with his friend Raydon,
one of the young men that Doug and William were looking for. We also were
able to find Enrico, Jamal, CJ, Conroy, Kamara, Romaldo, Cusmore, and Shaquille.
These were all young men our family worked with in 2002 and 2003. Please
be praying for these young men that the things that we spoke with them
about when we were there would be used by the Holy Spirit to help them
grow in their relationships with and obedience to Christ.
This is a picture of Jamal and some of his cousins. Jamal
now lives all the way up at the north end of the island. We took a 1 hour
van ride up there to find him and God really blessed us in letting us find
him. Please pray he would be going to a good church on a regular basis.
In Bequia we did two VBS's. This is the one at Port Elizabeth.
Doug was at this one. William was at the other one in Paget Farm.
Please pray for the kids who heard the gospel to continue
to think about it and that they would remember God's attributes about which
we taught them.
Please pray for Reon, above, with whom William shared
the gospel.
In the evenings the team did teen meetings with the youth
in Bequia. The topic was sexual purity. This is the meeting with the young
men.
One evening our team split up into smaller groups and
went to eat dinner with various families from the churches. Here is a picture
of William and his group with the family they ate with.
I know that this is a small summary of our trip, but I hope it gives you a small idea of what we did in Bequia and St. Vincent. We are very thankful for your prayers and financial support. We are praying that God will use, for years to come, the effects of this trip in our lives and the lives of the many people with whom we worked.
