Overcoming Spiritual Warfare

I know the title sounds ominous but the reality is that there is a constant spiritual battle no matter what you do when serving the Lord. Today Pastor Steve was bringing a message and sharing the gospel with over 100 kids from the Desire community. In the midst of the teaching, the rain began falling on the metal roof, extra noise from the bus as it was being repaired, and a phone call to the translator in the middle of the gospel. All of these things could have derailed the gospel being shared but our God is awesome and despite these distractions, the gospel was shared and the children's clearly understood the message.

In addition to the Bible teaching, today was another blessing. Teaching English continued today with great success. Members of our team spent a great time with the mommas sharing Scripture, prayer requests, and hearing life stories of the mommas. And Rich, our doctor investigating medical mission possibilities with his wife Kathy spent the day visiting clinics, visiting with nurses, and local pastors and missionaries working in and around Gonaives. I am excited for what the Lord might reveal to us as a church and the direction He would have us go.

The team is doing very well, staying healthy, and serving with every ounce of energy! This is a great team and the Lord is doing wonderful things through them!
