Sunday, July 11th

Trinidad and Tobago are a country with much promise and many needs. The disciples have welcomed us warmly and been very humble with many questions. Your teens have represented Christ and their families quite well - their sharing with parents was very impactful. They returned from the orphanage grateful and moved emotionally. We are located next to the American Embassy (which we hope not to need) and the All Saints Anglican Diocese. I attended their 7:30 service this morning which had much singing, incense and chanting. The sermon was quite good - our willingness to see needs (good samaritan lesson), not look the other way but instead meet one persons need (Daily?). Like many denominations, there were very few youth attending which was discussed in their bulletin article. We must teach our children well and show how the gospel is most valuable and relevant to our youth. Jeff is preaching today from Luke 7:36 at the Port of Spain church of Christ. We are meeting with their leadership group tonight who are seeking a full-time ministry couple and help reaching their youth. We also hope to help re-build a thriving campus ministry in Trinidad which many attend since the tuition is covered by the government at this time. Love for now but I must get ready for our service this morning.
