The Best Is Yet to Come

  This week our team spent a lot of our time in the projects. We went Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in the afternoon. We went to both Paradise Mills and Kennedy. On Wednesday we split up and went to both Paridise Mills and Kennedy to deliver potted plants that we put bible verses on. We also gave them a copy of a powerful love letter called The Fathers Love Letter, that takes a bunch of scriptures from the bible and puts them together to form a beautiful letter formed right from Gods word. Our team had so many encouraging words from the parents at Kennedy. They were so thankful and excited to recieve the plants. One lady told two of our team members that she had been praying for someone to come here and we were an answer to her prayers. Another mom told us she was so thankful we had been coming and she could tell the difference in the kids, and that we needed to come back, that we couldn't leave, because the kids need us. It was such a powerful time. And our team was encouraged to hear those words affirming the work we have been doing there! We also handed out invitations to a Family Fun Day that we are having in the Kennedy Terrace Project on Saturday the 25th. We have been planning for about a week and have been getting donations. We know that God is going to use this time as a huge ministry as well as a day full of fun and laughter! God is doing big things on this island. He is moving and things are shifting. We are hearing it from people all around us that the atmosphere in Kennedy and in  St.Croix is changing and they can feel it!! It is so excited! And our team is so thankful that the Lord brought us here for such a time as this.

   We have continued our ministry with the Lighthouse Mission and are so thankful that we have been given the opportunity to be there. We have heard from so many of the hhomeless there that they have been truly blessed to have us here. They tell us over and over how much they will miss us and are sad to see us go. It has been an incredible time of getting to know them and there stories. Malene gave the word this Friday and she spoke on how we have authority in Christ and that he wants to set us free and heal us. So we had a time of prayer and saw a lot of freedom and new attitudes! It was an incredible time of seeing Gods hand at work in the lives of his beloved.

   Our team also hosted a 72 hour prayer weekend for the St.Croix Christian Church. It started Thursday night at 6:30 and went all weekend and ended Sunday at 6:30. It was a great time of worship and prayer. We had worship every night and had stations throught the room where people could go and let go of burdens, give thanks, do artwork, pray over the world, and for here. It was a really great to see the church step up and and to hear their prayers for the island. At the end of the weekend we opened the time up for testimonies. We heard amazing stories about how God has been providing for his people. It was so encouraging!   One of the homeless guys, named Russel, that we met at the Lighthouse came to our prayer weekend. He has been receiving the word and experiencing God is incredible ways. He is hungry and seeking the Lord. He spent a lot of time with us this weekend and we are seeing him grow so much!

  Our team is SO excited for our last week of ministry! We have some big things coming up and know God is going to do some incredible things!! We have gotten the word that the best is yet to come!! So we are believing in faith for God to move and expecting lives to be transformed, restored, and saved! All in His might Name!
