SUNDAY, 7/31/16 (SECOND ENTRY)

Written by Teddie on August 1st, 2016

We were very blessed to begin our Sunday by having Pastor David Leavell and thirteen folks from the First Baptist Church of Millington, TN join us for our morning devotion time.  Pastor Ben Labriel brought them up to GRACE Mountain.  After Dr. Rex and the Beasley boys led our musical worship, Pastor David brought us a good word from the Word.  There were at least seventy five folks in the upper room – it was great!  To God be the glory!

As soon as our morning devotion was over (our devotions are basically always at least an hour long – certainly one of the most important parts of the trips I lead), the GRACE folks loaded up and headed up the road for another service.  We went to a water park and had our morning worship under a pavilion.  We joined the GRACE Community Church for this special service.  Once again, Dr. Rex and the Beasley boys led the musical worship and then Pastor Joe David Bailey brought us a word from the Word.  The pavilion was packed and probably ten to fifteen folks had to stand the entire service.

The worship concluded with me joining Pastor Lazaro Suruy in the upper swimming pool to baptize four folks.  A couple of them were saved four years ago, one was saved when I preached at the GRACE Community Church in February of this year and the other was saved two months ago.  The newest convert has a story to tell of God’s amazing grace.  What a privilege to observe this ordinance with our daughter church.  God is good!

Off to Antigua the team went for a delicious meal at Las Antorchas and then they had all afternoon to spend in Antigua.  Everyone was on their own for supper so there was no rush to get back to GRACE Mountain.

As I was sitting here doing some work this evening, I could hear constant laughter coming from the upper room.  Good fellowship.

Tomorrow will see us doing Casa Alleluya, the feeding center, building houses, the special ministry project, and a distribution of food and clothes to two hundred families.  Pastor David and the fine folks from 1st Millington have accepted an invitation to be our guests for supper so we look forward to that time of fellowship.

Thanks for checking on us.  Thanks for praying!
