PRAYERWALKING MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

Two women from North Georgia traveled to Barbados to prayerwalk for the region and for the island. Both women commented that IMB missionary Cindy J., (center) who lives on the island with her husband, Rick, has a sweet Christian spirit. Cindy graciously gave the women tours throughout the areas of Barbados so they could visit Baptist churches, the Anglican Seminary, the Baptist College, the University of the West Indies, and many residential and business areas.

As the women traveled, they discussed ministry options, and the groups who could possibly travel to Barbados to implement these ministries. Many smiles and conversations took place between the women and Bajan people. One day they traveled through the rains that were washing through the streets and flooding the foundations of the homes. Many young people were in on the streets looking for something to fill their time. The men occupied the rum businesses. The Baptist churches they visited were small in attendance but dedicated to their purpose.

Joyce and Brenda's prayers were specific. They prayed God would open the hearts of the people so they would be receptive to Him. They asked for God's divine hand on Rick and Cindy's ministries. They prayed for Rick's trip to the US as he visited the churches and colleges who will visit Barbados for special ministries beginning in March. They sought guidance from God for these groups as they prepare for their trips to Barbados to work among the people. During their evening devotions, Joyce and Brenda asked God for clear direction, as to possible ministries for the people, and for Him to take their thoughts and use them in an active way.

Joyce replied, "Being there and praying as a team was meaningful and strengthened our Christian lives here at home. Barbados is such a beautiful place created by God - a place where one felt so close to God."
