going bananas?

Good afternoon from the Taller del Maestro Global Outreach! This is a pretty day here seems like it has gotten hot all of a sudden! Only when it is sunny though, when the sun hides behind the clouds it cools off again!

This banana is one that grows wild here in Tabarcia! It is one of about 5 different types of this kind of tree that grows here in the area, plus many other citrus trees and even an apple tree! They call it a water apple, it isn't like the apple we know although it looks similar! It tastes more like a pear.

We celebrated a great evening of worship Thursday evening, the women of Arbol de Vida our church! We invited all the women for a special service just for women, they responded, and went away blessed!

First we had 45 minutes of worship music, Mary played the piano!

Then after that we had different people share. Roger one of our young men danced choreography to a song that talked about our faith in JESUS as Saviour! It was moving and the Holy Spirit moved us to put our faith only in GOD through JESUS!

I shared with the women about how Moses saw the burning bush and GOD told him to remove his shoes he was standing on HOLY ground, then about Joshua, he was told by the commander of the army of the LORD to take off his shoes, he was standing on HOLY ground!

So we took off our shoes in an act of faith in GOD that we are still standing on HOLY ground in HIS presence!

We all moved up to the front of our little church in our bare feet and held hands as one of our ladies led us in prayer, then asked us to pray for each lady whose hand we were holding! With small steps of faith we move closer to JESUS, all we have to do is take the first step and HE helps us as keep walking!

Our pastor closed with encouraging words from Hebrews 11, Rahab was the focus as she received the Hebrew men and protected them sending them on their way over the wall and into the forest while the men from Jericho searched the roads for them! She didn't know JESUS nor was she taught about our HOLY GOD but she showed compassion to GODS men! And so was recognised for her faith!

Let us encourage each other to keep taking those baby steps in our walk with JESUS toward Heaven, daily walking and holding tightly to HIS GREAT HAND!

Blessings on your day today as you serve JESUS!

Love in JESUS, -Evelyn
