Sunday Morning March 8, 2009
Today our mission team met up with the missionaries after a restful night of in a breezy, coastal area. Our team headed down to Redemption Church which is a church we visited last year.
“Having the opportunity to visit Redemption Church again this year was such a privilege. It is a blessing to be able to worship with other Christians across the world. The pastor is so passionate when he preaches, and we’ve continually found the people here to be very warm and welcoming.” - Faith Morris, Furman University Grad 2006.
Today Pastor Burke didn’t preach, but he had one of his deacons bring God’s word. Our group has many members that are new to Barbados and had the privilege to experience the culture and worship styles at church for the first time. One of these new members is Chris Bowers.
“During the visit to Redemption Church this morning I realized that when we all get to Heaven then truly it will be ALL of us! From every nation! The style of worship was a little different from what I am accustomed but you could tell that God was there and that they truly knew they were doing God’s work. I truly believe that as a “Church” church whole, we need a change. This morning’s message was right on track with that. There is nothing except God that we can lean on for change!” - Chris Bowers the 9:30 College Bible Fellowship Teacher
God Has blessed our team so much already that many people feel like they have been here more than just two days. God is definitely at work on this island and we are excited to get involved.
Prayer
· Tonight we are attending a different church named People’s Baptist and we ask if everyone would be in prayer for that.
· Tomorrow we are starting our relational ministry with the students on the campus of UWI (University of West Indies)
Please keep in your mind
“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thess. 5:16-17

Guys, I am excited to hear things are going well. Thanks for keeping everyone so well informed. Again, I can't wait to hear what God is doing "in" and "through" ya'll! "Let God Blow Your Minds" as you have so eloquently stated! I am praying for ya'll! Share that good 'ole Gospel Light with those in Barbados!
I am looking to get in touch with Faith Morris who is an old friend from Furman University and who is quoted in this blog. If someone can help me out in any way, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
