University of the West Indies

     Wednesday and Thursday were the last days our group was on campus. These two days were extremely eventful in various ways.

For one we continued our community groups with Campus Crusade for Christ.

Second of all we had many meaningful relationships started due to the selfless acts of the individual groups. (Three to a group)

Lastly we used sports such as Frisbee and American football, not futbol, to bring curious Bajans to us and use this as a medium to talk to them.

     Wednesday we also held our own worship service where music and preaching were done by the students. Matt Brown, Jonathan Bishop, and McKenzie Martin lead music before Ryan Campbell brought a message to us.

This was a great time to slow down, rest and just recognize that God is able to be with us in Barbados worshipping as well as at Rock Springs in South Carolina, about 2000 miles away.

This week has been a refreshing time for our group, and also a time of revelation in that God is God no matter where you are or how you worship him.

Please pray for the students of UWI and pray that the Christian groups on campus continue to grow and minister to the students.
