Painting Amy and Barrett's bedroomHosting a short term team on top of the normal ministry activities can be tiring, but this group was very gracious and actually took care of itself very well. We truly appreciated their efforts and attitude to serve.
One of the highlights for me was inviting Chris Goeppner, a co-leader of the trip, to share a short message with the local youth and some tourists who had gathered at our Friday night cook out. I translated his simple message about Jesus being the Truth into Spanish. I loved the way he related to his audience by saying that after a soccer match, everyone agrees on who won. There is no disputing the scoreboard. Some things are true and not relative, and Jesus is truth.
Chris took some nice photos, which I'll share with you here. Thanks, Chris!

ReplyDeleteSo glad that you had a productive week with the Jupiter team! The house looks great and I'm sure Barrett and Amy and the girls are blessed! Keep up the good work. :)
ReplyDeleteWhit,
ReplyDeleteso great that you can interpret the message....I wish I could speak Spanish that well. We got around pretty good with Heav helping us in Hondudras, she has learned how to communicate enough to get her needs met, but of course, none of us is fluent or even close to it.
Always in my thought and prayers.
God bless you.
