Ministry Day 2

Students are enjoying some free time before dinner. Both groups had a FULL day. I'll let the students tell you how the day went:
"My group and I took a visit to the ALC today. It was awesome to see the Bahamian kids and play with them. We also went to a school of 900 kids! Thank God I made this trip!" -Chase E.
"Today we had the amazing opportunity to share the Gospel at a public school with 900 kids. I was amazed at how happy the kids were to see us. They were overjoyed with the simplest things. It was a blessing to love on the kids." -Natalie R.
Mary P. says that at first she was nervous to meet and talk to so many children, but once they arrived at the school, she felt comfortable and had a great time playing with the kids.
Many students shared the Gospel and prayed with Bahamian children. Patrick S. was talking to some students, sharing the Gospel when one little boy began crying. The boy had just lost his father. Patrick prayed with the boy and shared the love of Christ. The little boy accepted Jesus as his Savior.
"What mostly impacted me today was the All Saints Camp. There were about 20 people there who had either some source of disease or needed physical help. The one person that impacted me the most was a man named James. He was an amazing person, and not just because he had the same name as me. What fascinated me most was the fact that he was always happy and joyful with a great attitude, always talking to us and being very friendly to us all. I was very surprised at how him and another man, Arthur, would always sing to us very loudly and worship with us! He was very thankful at us all being there, and we were all happy to be there." -James H.
Hope A. adds that what made a huge impact on her today was being challenged by a leader to feed one of the residents. She was nervous about having to literally feed this woman who is crippled by disease, but Hope overcame her fears.
Marcos L. says, "I met a man at the All Saints Camp today. This was extremely significant to me because I got to see complete joy and contentment in a man that had almost nothing. He was overjoyed in just knowing our names and singing hymns with us."
