The church on Isla Bastimentos

We have been meeting every Saturday at the little restaurant/meeting area near our house for a simple worship and teaching time. We have been trusting the Lord to help with His spirit as we flounder in our Spanish delivering teachings and testimonies that we translate (thank heavens for the dictionary.com site) and Spanish worship songs. Our friend and pastor Kendall has been in the states for two months, so the service has been up to us. Erika and Kellen led worship, and Erika presented the gospel through a children's Spanish bible story book with pictures. They listened intently, crowding around to see the pictures better. Afterwards, several prayed to have Jesus in their lives, and we stood and held hands as new brothers and sisters and gave thanks to the Lord. Two weeks later, we celebrated when Dan and Andy came by holding a baptism service on our rebuilt dock, and had the joy of watching the St. Luke's team baptize the new believers.
