So this week I was gonna say hasn't been all that interesting but then I realized we had a community outreach program where 10 churches came together and did a 4 hour presentation in a nearby amphitheatre. We had that place packed!! It was extremely powerful and SO AWESOME! Our Kings Kids did a dance and a drama and we were able to pray with some people! It was the beginning of a project we are working towards. We have created this group called "Light Weight" that we will be taking a part in and reaching the people where they are in their community. We feel that the island youth are our targets, we must catch them before they get sucked into the things of this world. St. Croix is hurting so badly. The kids are getting involved with Gang, violence, drugs, everything and we are determined to stop this. We will have the help of hopefully more churches but right now we're small. Some people are afraid to even enter some of the communities here so that is keeping them from moving with us. We understand that the people won't come to church so we'll bring church to them on their level. We'll use dramas, dance, basketball, people from other communities that were in their same positions to reach them. It is SO awesome, to see how God is opening doors into new areas. I have had a desire to be more involved and he has brought people with a passion to reach out and I have been able to take part in that! Then I was able to share at my bible study this week and that was just awesome. I was reminded how in our times of struggles we are to just confidently come before the Lord and give our burdens to him. To surrender to him in all situations, HE IS WAITING FOR US TO COME TO HIM in our times of need. I had about 6 different scriptures, all from different places, I had a nice tour through the bible from Exodus all the way to 1 Jn. I have to say I am a bit disappointed I didn't have notes to look back over to see what I said. I am very grateful for the way God has blessed me to be comfortable when I speak and to be confident in him. He always brings verses to my mind but as far as writing things down to say I don't do that. I have just felt in the last few weeks really loved by God and knowing that he is Aware of me. I love the fact that I can say I am living in his will and doing my best daily to bring Glory to his name! Things are good here, still getting to know the culture and trying to fit in but I think by my ability to connect with a local youth group it will begin to really thrust me forward in feeling like I'm having more impact on the people here. I have been blessed this week by a number of people encouraging and praying for me and I can tell you I FEEL the difference!! I love it!! God is so great and I just am thankful for where I'm at!
