FBC Mount Pleasant, SC Team June 2019

In June we hosted a team from our partner church FBC Mt. Pleasant, SC.  We worked alongside a pastor in the Mazatenango area and also spent a day near Retalhuleu.  We had a great week serving together and sharing the gospel with many.  Here is a look at our time together-

Like our March team from our home church (Harmony Baptist) this team had a family come down to serve together.  We love being on mission with other families.  Our boys, in particular, loved having the other kids to spend the week with.  It was great to see these kids be bold in their sharing of the gospel. 

We met a tortilla lady on the street and spent some time sharing with her. 

we bought some of her tortillas before we left

the kids even got to try making some

(that was fun)

We visited a local school to invite all of the kids to an afternoon activity at the local Baptist church.

We had a good turnout for the first afternoon activity.  The kids kept coming in even after we had finished.

Our second day of home visits in another area.  We visited in the morning and did a children's activity in the afternoon.  We also had a women's Bible study while the team worked with the kids.

On our last day we explored Antigua together.  We started at the cross above the city.

Me and Jennifer

This was her second trip just this year alone and I have lost count of how many times she has been down all together.  We love her!!!

We visited the Choco Museo (Chocolate Museum) and learned all about how chocolate is made and then got to make some ourselves.  That was fun for everyone!

My favorite was macadamia nut with sea salt.

Next we visited the jade shop and learned all about jade.

We did not eat at McDonald's but I had to take them in there just to show them how pretty ours is here in Antigua.

We toured the coffee farm at Finca Filadelfia. 

And we enjoyed one last supper meal together at Ta'Cool.  

It was a great week!  This team did a wonderful job of not only teaching the Bible but also telling their testimonies many times.  They poured into the people here and we are thankful for the impact they had on those we met.  

We welcomed our next team yesterday (Sunday) and will begin our first day of ministry today.  They are another group from South Carolina.  Pray for us this week as we share the gospel together.
