Tonawanda Indian Baptist Church - Saturday
Well, Day One is officially in the books…& what a long day it was, indeed! After several long hours “flapping our wings”, we were ready to collapse…then we got slapped in the face with a heat wave unfamiliar to the friendly (yet chilly) confines of Western New York. After “touching down” in the Dominican Republic, & winding our way through the customs lines, we were driven to the SCORE Complex to “settle-in” & make ourselves familiar with our new home-away-from-home. Naturally, the first thing we did once we unloaded our belongings was to either, (a) head for the pool or, (b) head for the bed…for a little siesta!
After enjoying a home-cooked spaghetti dinner & fellowship with our fellow “partners in Christ” from all over the United States (& beyond), we headed to the shores of the Caribbean Sea for devotions. We were challenged to “see things through the eyes of Christ” — always making ourselves available to Him & always being aware of the situations & people He places in front of us…& all around us. We know that God has BIG things in store! Sometimes it takes getting past ourselves & moving where God is moving!
We are anxious to get started with the work that God has prepared for us. We pray that God will use all of our unique talents & abilities to “reach one more” for His Kingdom. We ask that you pray for each & every one of us as God moves us out of our little “comfort zones!” Also, pray for Heaven– who was not feeling well after all of our extensive traveling. With a good night’s rest she’ll be ready to go in the morning! Right now, I think it’s safe to say, we could all use a good night’s rest (& the AC cranked up all the way!)
Stay tuned…God’s ready to do a mighty work!
