I received word from the Eleuthera camp today. Unfortunately, their Internet connection is not reliable. As a result, they have not been able to make any blog postings. They will be arriving back in Nassau tomorrow night, so I will get you caught up on them at that time.
The evening came to a close in Nassau once again around the camp fire. During the worship time, the students began to answer the challenge that was given to them on Monday evening. The challenge w to throw off the sin that so easily entangled them. They would do this by confessing that sin to the Lord and then placing it in the fire. The object that represented that sin was a simple pine cone. One by one, students tossed their sin into the fire, never to be picked up again.
Our time concluded after a great Bible study. Josiah Graves shared on God's grace and taught on the two prodigal sons in Luke 15. It was powerful and had a profound effect on all of us.
As I write the happenings of this week, I am filled with encouragement in my heart. I know that many of our student missionaries have been forever changed. As always, I am blessed to witness the transformation of these students, as they begin to practice the faith that they have been taught most of their lives.

God bless the work that is being accomplished to give Him glory and praise. The prayers continue to lift the complete team on this mission trip. Teachers, volunteers and most of all these young disciples of Jesus Christ.
“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”
― St. Francis of Assisi
