An island Sunday...

We went hiking on Bastimentos island on fathers day 

and found this little church half way up the mountain.

The people speak  Guari Guari which is 

sometimes refered to as creole english.

A lot of them speak spanish as well.

The service was given in spanish by the pastor 

and then translated into Guari Guari.

They honored the dads as well as gave them a strong charge 

to lead their families and stay clear of alcohol, drugs and violence.  

3 of the main problems this community has.

The children in the church performed an exciting drama.  

Acting out how Satan uses drugs, 

alcohol and all types of sin to keep us down.  

Then Jesus came and a real tug of war happened, 

I mean my kids were a bit frightened on the front row, 

but in the end, Jesus won, and the sin was crushed.

Heavenly voices.  

I love their variations of songs we sing at home as well.

We sang and worshiped together 

with this beautiful little church and 

felt so blessed to be so far away from our community 

but yet surrounded by one that so strongly loves the Lord.
