First Baptist Church-Newcastle

Today we arrived to Carbon. The first thing we saw was a lively service at the church and we were welcomed by them. We just prepared our beds to sleep and recover energy for tomorrow when we travel to Alto Jabui. Everyone has a heart willing to serve through this week! Keep praying for the team to see God’s hand in the work we will do.

Today we had the breakfast and devotional, Gabe and Layla shared during this time, and we also had a great time having a conversation between us, and now we are ready to head to Alto Jabui, we are so excited to meet again all the people there!

We left Carbon church today and made our way to our final destination for the week, Alto Jabui! 

On our way there we crossed a few creeks and had a full experience pushing one of the buses through a hard crossing! 

After many water crossings and bumpy roads we have made it to Alto Jabui! Thank God! 

Once we had unloaded the buses and situated ourselves. 

Pastor Amado introduced himself to the new people in the group and shared with us some of the things that his family and the church have been going through after the last visit.

We then were able to pray over his family, for the health of pastora Damaris and the ministry God has given them. 

Before supper we had a big game with the locals! It was a blast to play and for the ones watching even more so! 

Every morning we have devos and today Charlie shared with us how we want to be accepted be those around us, but Jesus has called us and chosen us to be different, to be like Him! 

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Today the Lord allows us to bless the people of this community in many ways. We have started construction! 

We will be helping out the church by putting in kitchen windows, during the process we are able to work with the locals and build relationships along the way!
