The MFI retreat weekend

Wow and excellent...that is what this weekend was. MFI came in to host a retreat for the missionaries and those affiliated with MFI. They brought along some friends of MFI, plus a great singing group from Hobe Sound Bible College. Dick Snook dubbed them the "Hobe Sound International Quartet". The young guys were great. But then, I love quartets, so I am a bit prejudiced, I guess. THEN, you come to the pastor that lead the teaching. He was FANTASTIC. We so enjoyed Pastor Randy Crowe. He is from a very small island in the Caribbean. That is if you consider 1/2 mile wide and 2 miles long, small. But he's a pilot and flies to other islands to minister also. The island is Man-O-War Cay. The humor he interspersed with the word of God, and the lessons from the word were so encouraging. The problem is, it was over WAY too quick. Dick Snook, MFI's president did a great job leading the weekend. And we all enjoyed the hot dogs and chips and all the rest they brought along to eat. These few photos are of Dick Snook leading our services. Then the second one is the singing group. Following that, and definitely NOT the last, is Pastor Randy Crowe.
I guess we all needed that "break" from the normal here. And it was something so uplifting that we are refreshed. The fellowship with the team was awesome too. They all stayed here at our dorm, so we were doubly blessed. Isn't God good to bring what we need when we need it?

We have gotten word that our first container is in port and "should" be inspected this week. But that was the last we heard on it. Pray with us that we will hear more tomorrow and that within this week it will be delivered.

The next blessing we have is that our daughter-in-law and her adopted son are here with us for a while. He gets along so well with Abbie. We are really happy to have them here. Keep them in prayer for their papers to finally move and that they will be able to get the passport and visa and be able to take him home. This is our prayer for them.

I will update you again soon. We have our next team coming in on Tuesday, so will continue to be busy again. Keep us in prayer for strength and fortitude.

For now, remember to let Jesus be the focus of your life and the light of your life.
