DAY TWO
On our first full day here on the island we started off with a prayer walk.
Our first stop was CCF (Caribbean Christian Fellowship) which is the church that Brandon Grayson pastors. We prayed that the Lord would direct their path and bring in the people He desires.
Then the next stop was Beach Allen Primary School. We prayed for all of the students who go there, for God to be present in their lives, and for more opportunities to share Jesus with them.

Then we got to go to Corban and Cate's school, Morise Hillier, and we prayed for their school, and for both missionary families kids -- specifically about their schooling.
Our next stop was the prison, and then downtown.
Here, they speak english, but they have a very different lingo than we're used to. Here's an example of how different they speak.... you can't even understand!!
Then after the prayer walk, we started planing for our work projects. Most of us are doing work at CCF, and Chase, David Fleener, Carter, and Eddy are working on making bunk beds for a local mom , Daniella, who has 11 kids (9 living at home).
Those of us working at CCF started organizing a bunch of clothes and miscellaneous stuff that will be given away at a clothing drive later on.

Later that evening we went to the kids club and got to hang out with the kids in middle island.. and that was fantastic. We all loved playing with the kids and just loving on them.

The others who weren't at CCF went to Daniella's and made two full size bunk beds for some of her children to be able to sleep in!

We all got burnt, as expected. But it was well worth it.
After the beach we got to enjoy nice cold 5 second showers and then went to have dinner and worship at the Grayson's.

Now we are all doing our own things before bed and enjoying the nice breeze on our radiating skin.
Please pray for us tomorrow as we continue to paint at CCF and also put on the good news club! Pray for the heart to serve and that we will know the right things to do and say while on the island.
