Souls for the Kingdom

Another amazing day of ministry in the Bahamas! Our team spent their morning at Adelaide Primary. As we pulled into the village, our students took the opportunity to pray and absorb their surroundings. The mood on the bus changed from somber to energetic as we entered the gate to the school. Looking out the windows, our students could see the children of the school sitting in their chairs in a semi-circle waiting for us. Our student missionaries quickly sat among the children, greeting them as they would a long lost friend.

The school allowed our worship team to lead some worship songs. The children loved singing and doing the motions to "Every Move I Make" and "There is No one Like You". Several of the s performed a dance they had prepared to an arrangement of "Amazing Grace". It was beautiful, graceful and it blessed everyone there.

After the assembly, we were asked to get into smaller groups with the children and share what Christ has done in our lives. One teacher was so blessed by the students in her room that she made the comment that it is a joy to see the example our CCA students were setting. She said her students could see that you can be cool and still follow Christ.

One student found herself alone in a classroom full of fourth grade students. Unsure of what she should do, she drew a heart on the blackboard and then wrote the name of Jesus inside of it. She asked, "Who has Jesus in their heart?" and all of the students raised their hand. All but one little . Our CCA student asked her again if she had Jesus and she said she did not know. Then one by on, the entire class said they were not sure either. Our student took a deep breath and then lead them all in the sinners prayer!

We serve an amazing God. This truth is revealed to me in a new way, everyday I spend with these students. You all should be proud and thankful.
