We had the privilege of working with a youth group from a Baptist church in Florida who was here with Sarita. We went with them to a school here in Chiquimula and helped with presenting a little Bible study, games, and music to the school. There were almost 400 students at the school!! We played some songs with them. One of the songs has dance moves with it that is for exercise or a drill in the military. The group did some dramas and more songs. Then a guy from the group spoke on the love and renewal we receive from the blood of Jesus. It was very fun and exciting to be able to minister to and play with so many kids!! They then went to Sarita's ministry and performed the same program with the group for those kids. Nancy and Ashley went with them to help with that program. Although it was only one day, we had a great time with the group and hope to be able to work with them again.
We also had a group from Josh and Jessica Byrd's ministry come and stay at our house July 19-23. They did a lot of construction, painting, and evangelizing. I was able to go with them one day and do some construction on the kitchen area at Sarita's ministry, and then later we all went with them to an orphanage in Camotan to help the group present their program to the kids in the orphanage. Then on Sunday morning we went with one of our dear friends at the church on the rock to invite the people to the church service that night were the group did some dramas and the leader preached. Brandi and one of the youth lead worship on a keyboard that the group bought for the church! The church was FULL of people!! The group did awesome in their dramas and the leader delivered a great evangelical message to the church. There was also an artist in the group. She was able to paint a mural on the wall while the service was going on at night! It looked great! There is someone in the church that can paint as well so the group left the paint to finish with more murals and scriptures on the walls. I was very excited for the pastor and the church with their keyboard and beautiful pictures on the walls! Praise the Lord and thank you New Bethel Baptist youth group and Josh and Jessica for blessing the church on the rock! God is good!!!
