Rick and Cindy J., missionaries in Barbados, are praising God for the wonderful week of events with the students from International World Changers. Cindy highlights the following pictures and stories to describe how God used these workers to His glory.
"I am very excited to share with you about our wonderful week of World Changers, yet I am also struggling with how to do so in a clear, concise, way because we saw God do SO many things! We are giving Him so much praise because He truly answered all of the prayers for the week.
PRAISES:
We certainly give thanks to ALL the wonderful team members who worked SO hard to make this week happen.
Ministry teams:
Four of the teams went into primary schools where they did recreation with the children and also assisted in the classroom. It really depended on what the teachers wanted or needed each day. We think this is VERY important because the children get acquainted with teenagers who have an active faith and a daily walk with God. They are such great role models!!
In addition to working with children, several teams joined together to paint two buildings of Society Primary School – inside and out, plus the principal's office! A giant task but they finished it completely.
Two teams did walking evangelism and on Wednesday night led youth services in two local Baptist churches.
The teams were wonderful testimonies for Jesus Christ both on the streets,and in the schools and college. Each team worked HARD all week and gave their absolute best!
At our final worship service, we praised God that the Gospel was shared in Barbados 515 times, 150 individuals prayed to receive Christ ,and $1,083.60 was raised for missions. We praise God and give Him the glory for everything He did through His people!
REQUESTS:
- Wednesday, June 24 -our student team will travel to St. Vincent to help prepare for aweek of World Changers.
