Our final update as Central One Team 2007!
We had a lot of fun this week while we were in the Bahamas with Central Two, Kristin Caddy and Chris Shay! It was great to be able to work with them and serve the Lord together. We held a VBS with the Bahamian children. The weather was very hot and all the kids loved playing with the water balloons in recreation. The kids also loved going to the beach! We had many kids accept Christ once again; which is always a blessing to be able to witness! We praise God for being able to go to a remote island and see the peacefulness that it has. We learned a lot about love in the Bahamas and how easy it is to show if we try harder.
When we got home from the Bahamas, we went straight to Minnesota to Northwoods Camp. We were helping out with the Service Extension Camp. The kids there were very open to what the Lord and the staff had to say. Many of the kids we ministered to were from tough homes and it’s really hard for them. We got to share devotions with the camp every night at “Call to the Cross”, and joined them in their peer groups. It was very eye opening for us to see kids in such need of prayer and love.
Wednesday we left at 7 am from Minnesota and got back to THQ around 4:00pm. It was a long day of travel and we are going to rest this evening and get ready to serve at CBLI with the rest of our fellow SMTers and other brothers and sisters in Christ.
We thank the Lord for this opportunity this summer to experience His work being done through us. We could not have asked for a better way to serve Him. We learned about the power of prayer, and how to love. Thank you for supporting us in many ways, but most of all in prayer. May God bless you!
Hope to see you all sometime soon!
Love,
Alex, Carolyn, Ashlee, Crouton (Amy E.), Amy K., and Breann
