Kingdom Rock started on Monday. We had a great start and then the forecast for Tuesday was heavy rain. We were wondering if our numbers would decrease to the point of no children. In Belize rain and storms is frightening to not only children but parents. Floods had hit areas of southern Belize the week before and most of the children we are working with will tell you of the water coming into their homes. We spent Sunday at Pomona talking to the kids about Noah and the flood. His words are true. He is our shelter from the storm.
Isaiah 25:4 You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
And then my favorite words of scripture, But God!
But God sent the rain in the night. The storm passed and the buses filled and the children came. The boys camp had about a 25 % increase and the girls camp had about a 50% increase. Praise God!
Just wanted to also let you know that the youth we brought on this trip have shined bright. Their boldness and witness is admiring. They have challenged me this week. At night we share our God moment for the day. To hear their hearts and see their love for missions and the Lord is something I wish I could record to show their parents.
Pray today as we share the gospel. The children and adults will be placing their cut out hands on a nail on a cross. Pray as the Gospel demonstrates it's power.
In Him,
Marsha
