This is our second year of celebrating Thanksgiving with a team from Bless Back Worldwide.  Since Thanksgiving is an American holiday, we still worked during the day on Thursday, but we had a wonderful feast and time of giving thanks in the evening with the team and some of our fellow missionaries from Grand-Goâve.

Thanksgiving

Throughout the week, the team kept us busy with medical and dental clinics, dental training in the school and teaching at the nursing school in Petit-Goâve.  It was wonderful to be a part of touching so many lives throughout the week.  The week ended with a food distribution in a very impoverished area of Grand-Goâve.  The people were so grateful for the food and enjoyed spending some special moments with the team.

A blessed week with the team from Bless Back Worldwide

Angela held her first seminar this week for the children’s ministry teachers.  They went over the lessons they will be teaching for the month and prepared the craft items together.

As we said goodbye to the Bless Back Worldwide team yesterday, we said hello to another team.  Clinicians of the World will be staying with us for a week, while they conduct medical clinics in the mountain areas and with local orphans.  Friday they will work with us in the Thozin medical clinic.

Today we had another wonderful time of fellowship, worship and preaching here in Thozin.  Pastor Kevin Groder shared from the book of Matthew, the story of the master who went on a trip and entrusted his servants with his wealth.  He encouraged us to use whatever talents God has given us – don’t just leave them on the shelf, they are to be used for God’s glory.
