The festival
to celebrate the founding of our island was this past weekend, and
it couldn’t have been more of an opportunistic time to go door to door to spend
quality time with the community. Spread throughout the plaza was a different
street vibrantly decorated, such as one with rows of jellyfish and the other
flowers and banners that swayed in the wind. As the smell of pork cooking rose
in the early morning, the whole group walked together to visit families who had invited them for the festival. From rice, fruit salad, shrimp, pig
ear and tongue, a whole plate of watermelon, and
more rice, they were full by noon!
The moments fell together
beautifully as people were open to receiving more prayers and children gathered
close together to hear stories in the Bible. It was a weekend full of
hospitality and getting to know the people in hope of sharing Jesus’ love.
"Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24-25)
