Let the Children Lead the Way

Week two for the Tropical Harvesters team has been an encouraging week filled with laughter and worship as well as unexpected opportunities. 

Since the team arrived at their village, around 30 kids gather on the team’s porch all day, every day. They decided to use this opportunity to share the gospel with those only a few steps outside their front door. A kid’s club was organized in which those involved play games, sing songs, and learn bible stories that would effectively present the gospel in a way that was understandable for even small children. Every night between Wednesday and Friday, more kids with more questions attended and by Friday, many of them were ready to accept Jesus into their lives. Since then, Bible studies that will further explain their commitments have been held and plan to continue throughout the duration of the summer. (Matt 19:13-15).

Please join us in prayer that the gospel would spread like wildfire, and that the children could be used as the doorway to share the gospel in their own homes. We ask that the words each team speaks would multiply and bring the lost into the kingdom. We also want to pray specifically for those who have grown up in Catholic homes. The teachings that they have learned have prevented many from understanding that preforming rituals and prayers aren’t what saves you, but only having faith in the Lord. 
Pray for continued good health for the teams and unity as we continue down this road the Lord has laid out for us.
