GRACE MINISTRIES 2016 – TEAM 1A

Sunday, February 7th, 2016

Sunday, 2/7

Wow, what a blessed day!  Our Sunday began with a message from the Word delivered by Dr. Michael Mason and that was followed by a time of musical praise and worship.  Good time!

The team then headed to Antigua to shop, sightsee, drink coffee, et cetera.  We all met at Las Antorchas for a delightful meal.  Everyone then headed to Pastores to buy and/or order boots.

We were blessed to attend the worship service at the GRACE Community Church.  God moved in a special way as we saw five folks from Guatemala come forward to receive Jesus as their personal Savior and three members of the mission team did likewise!  Hallelujah!  We came back to the mission house and had a brief meeting and another team member plainly spoke up and said, “I need to be saved” and was on the spot!  Double hallelujah!  Folks, it was one of those “you had to be there” to really understand and appreciate what happened.  All I know is that God showed up and He showed out!  Bless His holy name!

Supper was pupusas and pizza.  It was all good.

We are gearing up for a strong finish.   Keep praying!  Your prayers are being heard!

GRACE MINISTRIES 2016 – TEAM 1A

Saturday, 2/6

The team had their usual time of worship to begin the day.  Dr. Michael Mason did a really nice job of delivering the Word after Carla and crew had led the musical praise.

The medical team stayed local and saw tons of people.  The dental team was especially busy.

The building team did well also despite only having a crew of seven folks for the majority of the afternoon.  They built four more houses and started a fifth one.  Six more houses received concrete which means that nine houses have now been completed with the exception of the doors and windows being put in place.  The tenth one only needs to have two sheets of metal put on the front – why was this not done yesterday?  Dumb leader!

Our building team was cut short numerically as they had to leave the village early in order to get back in time for a food distribution.  I am told that went really well too.

A group of eleven or twelve left at 9:00PM to hike a volcano and will be on the top when the sun rises on Sunday.

Thank you for praying.  Thanks for checking on this team.  It is a really good team.
