Liquid Bahamas - New Year in the Bahamas
Dear Parents
Happy New Year. Yesterday was Day 5: Be Determined. We accomplished making goals for the New Year and also accomplished a challenge to share transparently their pitfalls. Things that will pull them away from accomplishing their Goals.
I have to say, the amount of resolute that our students have will thrill you when you see them face to face on Jan 3. (Please remember to pick them up at 8.10am at the Fort Lauderdale Airport, arriving on Bahamas Air).
The Refiner's Fire - that is the fire that our students were put through this week, yet I sensed a definite YES and Amen from our Father. He is watching the temperature of the fire, being the Good Refiner as the dross is being removed.
Many of the students came with a certain set of problem; whether spiritual, family, friends or even struggles within themselves. They are going to be surprised when they leave this Mission Trip, that God did not take it away. He did however equipped them with the tools to build a stronger, more passionate walk with Him, getting his perspectives. GIO put it this way, God is passionate about their purity. We need to learn to be passionate about what God is passionate about.
We also did a debrief from the Eleuthra outreach at the dock on our way back to Nassau. You see, their challenge was to put together a skit, and then share the gospel with one person. Three good hours of making friends with the Bahamians on the boat, sharing the gospel , led to a godly transformation before our eyes.... If I could put it this way, the boldness and the passion for the lost is infectious.
Pray for our evening study today, Day 6: Be Gracious. Pastor Chet and Gio will teach on the Grace of God. Pray that our students will be even more open tonight, being discipled by JESUS.
God Bless.
