First Open Air Service

Our first open-air service was yesterday, February, 17, 2008. It was a joint effort with Pastor Minnville of Tabernacle Baptist Church. He brought a crow of people with him. My family went and sang a couple songs and then I preached on John chapter three. We had a few from the surrounding area come to listen. After the service my family and I spent a little time talking with folks from the community.

Sesame seeds to burgers

We do not normally have sesame seed buns in St. Lucia unless you order a sandwich at KFC. This last week we found sesame seed buns at the grocery store. During supper Ethan (age 7) asked if you could plant the seeds and grow more buns. ??????????????

The kids on visitation

The children have made a new friend, Macala. I'm not sure the spelling of her name is right. Macala lives across the street. They have had several days playing together. Our children have been witnessing to her regularly. They have tried inviting her to church but that never seems to work because they are faithful to the Catholic Church. They did however get her to come to a Friday night youth meeting. Pray for Macala and her family to be saved.

Our First Home Church Service

On On February 10th we had our first Brock family church service. We hosted it outside our house in the gazebo. We invited several from the neighborhood, but only one came. Ethan led the singing, the girls sang a special, Faith played a special on her new harmonica, I preached a sermon, and Ethan led a song for invitation. I had two come to the altar to pray.

Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam

Last Friday we heard some rustling behind the house to find that one of the neighborhood cows was loose in the street. The kids thought it was a little strange to see a cow walking through the residential area we live. The cows here are normally kept on a leash. This one got loose. If you look close you can see the tether wrapped around its horns.

Happy Birthday Faith

Our second daughter Faith, had her eleventh birthday on January 31st. The family and a few friends drove to a pizza place for a get together. There is also a small playground there. The kids had a lot of fun.

Old Friend, New Friend

What a blessing it is to see old friends and have the opportunity to meet a few new ones. The young lady with Miss Monica is Verline. She was a member of Victory Baptist when we were here several years ago. Verline has since gotten married and has a beautiful little girl. They now live about an hour away. We were very happy to see her again.

Just getting started

We have been working some with a young man named Oliver. Oliver was saved through our ministry here four years ago. He has since confessed a call to preach and wants to start a church in his home town, Choiseul. We have gone witnessing the past two weeks together. We are currently trying to get a couple of in-home Bible studies going. No one has agreed yet, but we are still looking and praying.
