Island Update: Brielle

Our home for the week!
This week was a week full of unknowns that in those time all you can do is stop and worship God in all He has done. We were on an island that has a lot of strongholds and a lot of just different things going on there. 

In our time there we led Bible Studies and we worshipped God for just all that He had done in the sense of just bringing us to the right people & in the ways He had moved before we got there!!! We had our separate ministry groups for each village. My group had the ability at times to split up and do different parts of ministry in different areas.
 
On the first day we lead Bible studies. We found out later they had been going to Bible studies before. They were very receptive to the Bible and were just wanting to learn more. The next couple of days we went back to the same area, meeting up with them & some new people. It was very good to see how God was moving.

When it came to our last day there, it was very sad to say goodbye. Many people were receptive to God and just wanted to know more.. and we wanted to stay to teach them more about Him and watch them come to know who He is.  

Not only did we get to enjoy and see God moving in people's hearts but we also got to enjoy the beauty of His creation. We went out on a tour of the nearby islands, getting to swim in the ocean with some jellyfish that were stingless! We got to sit on an island and just have time of fellowship with each other. It was a great time of getting closer to each other, and learning more about one another.
