October 2023/ Go to Grow

1 Comment

This month we have spent time in the city, visiting several church’s.  We are encouraging the believers to stand firm for the truth and to continue to grow in their knowledge and faith.   Darrell has taught the lesson in a different church each Sunday.  We have also participated in men’s groups and women’s groups, children’s ministry and community outreach.  Our hope is that we will be an example to believers here to take every opportunity to share the gospel message with others.  We are scheduling training days to help identify ways they can GO outside of the church in order to GROW the church. Activities on street corners and various public places, inviting the churches to join us over the next two months. 

Pictures from the Kwinti villages of Makaja Pingo and Paka Paka where we stayed for one week. We shared the gospel message, bible teaching with believers, giving everyone water filters, bibles or proclaimers.  We plan to return to this area later this year to continue to build relationships and disciple believers. 

We shared the gospel message and demonstrated the water filters to two families. One young man replied, you mean we never have to buy water again!

We demonstrated how to use and care for the water filters and we talked about the living water of Jesus.  One young man replied, we never have to buy water again! 

 

 

Several trips into the bush are being planned for November in order to continue to reach new villages with the gospel message.      

We were blessed with a donation of new sunglasses for the ministry. For some of these ladies this was their first pair!

For some of these ladies this was their very first pair! We received a donation of reading glasses and Sunglasses to take with us to the bush. For some of these ladies this was the first pair of sunglasses they had ever owned.

God Stories

Jesus Christ is Lord!

0 Comment

Jesus is Lord.  All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. The wages of sin is death.  God demonstrated His own love for us in this, that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.  Christ does not condemn us, we are condemned already.  But in Christ we are saved.  If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

Sawyer Water Filters change lives

0 Comment

Hello Friends,

I want to share with you some of the stories about how something as small and simple, as if 0.1 micron filtration is an easy thing, as a water filter can change the life of an entire generation.

Clean Water For Life!

We have for the last 2 trips to the interior of Suriname, South America, taken Sawyer inline filters to give to the people in the villages.  This has been a huge blessing.  The people are amazed that something so small and easy to use can have such a huge impact on their lives.  One sixty-something year old man, after I helped him setup a filters on a 20-liter bucket, said, “You mean to tell me, I never have to drink dirty water again in my life?”  I told him that is correct, and that his children and even his grandchildren would never have to drink dirty water again.  As long as he took care of the filter and backlashed it as I showed him.  He just smiled and laughed, at the thought of it.

August 2016, we took more filters with us, and again helped the people set them up and begin using them.  We showed them how to backlash the filters.  Then we shared a story or two about how Jesus can wash their sins cleaner than the water coming out of these filters.  The response was more than we expected.  God called 13 men and women to follow Jesus, in a village of about 130.  A village that only 3 years ago was unreached and unengaged by any evangelistic efforts.

We give God all the Glory, He alone is worthy of our praise.  He provided the right people to help us build relationships with a few of the people.  He provided the way for us to visit the village and meet a few more of the people.  He provided the opportunity for us to find out about these wonderful filters.  He provided the people who would donate filters for us to take.  He provided the money for us to travel to take the filters.  Then He glorified Himself through His Son Jesus, and provided the way for these people to come to know Him in a personal way.
