It started back in the beginning of the week. 20 youth plus leaders came here to invade this island, (New Providence, Bahamas). Boy did they come and our Lord just used them to the fullest. Their first of many tasks was to hand out flyers and get ready for an onslaught of younger kids at this park called Flamingo Park. They set up all the areas with Balloons, face painting, arts and crafts plus even had a jump rope area. The kids from the school came and my kids did a great job. They handed out many things, brackets (differ colors) to show Black, with means sin, Red, with means blood of Jesus, White, purity. Yellow, the streets in Heaven are Gold. Blue, means Baptism. Green, is for the growing we need to do, by reading our Bibles. That was just one item. We figured there was about 300 to 400 kids there and it just was a great time of ministry.But I want to tell you about the Good Friday time.
The biggest day I believe was Good Friday. That day we started out and boy was the Holy Spirit all around the places and us we went to. First stop was an elderly home, called Unity House. This place rocked, first we came in the just talk with the people there and I saw so many of our kids just start to love on them. After about ½ hour or so. Nattily and some of the kids got up and started singing songs. Then I saw this real older gentlemen get up and start to wiggle his back end. It was so neat to see that kind of energy at his age. Then even a couple of the younger girls got up with a girl named Lisa. They all where rocking with the sounds. Then from there we went to a place called All Saints, this place is for people that don’t have anything or a home. Plus most of them have aids. So we broke up in small groups and the boys went to the men side and the girls to the ladies side. I was listening to a couple of the boys talking and asking questions and just loving on them. It does me good to see our next young people getting closer to our Lord and seeing Him use them. There is a woman there; her name is Miss Motley. She has been there for many years. I have known her for the time that I have been here. 11 months. She is in her bed and doesn’t get out of it. I am not sure what is wrong with her. I believe she has aids and makes her very weak. But I can tell you this, every time I have seen her, there is a smile on her face that just glows. She knows her Bible and sometime if you ask he to read, she will go to the Psalms. I wish I had a picture of her, but I have never asked her to do that. You know how women get if they’re hair or what ever is not right. She is not like that but I just might ask next time I go up there.
The last place for Good Friday was at the orphans home, called Ranfurly Home for Children. These kids are from 12 to 18 years old and we have had the chance in the pass to have them come to our Adventure Learning Centre, to help us out. So these kids have known us for a while now. Our kids got along great with the younger ones and they did their dramas and just fit right in. Guys I know I can explain the whole trip but I know by now you have stopped reading and gone to someplace else. So At this time I just want to tell you how much Jesus Loves you and I do too. Bye Tom, Phil 4:13
