Casting Seeds Ministries has had many blessings this year.
Summer Volunteers, mission teams, El Faro children's ministry and many more.
Teams
After our return from the United States, we got busy preparing for our team from Tennessee.Diane Turpin from Roundlick Baptist church lead a women's ministry conference at the El Faro ministry building. Around 25 women came and was blessed with encouraging bible lessons on the women of the bible. They learned how to make baskets using old newspapers, and decorated a new pair of flip flops. There were many laughs and smiles shared with each other, and they grew closer in their relationship with each other, and with God. Diane did a great job teaching them and they ask about her all the time.
This team also came and did a backyard VBS with the children of the local school. There was 300 children that came and learned bible stories, new songs, crafts, and recreation. The team used Lifeways Colossal Coaster VBS material for teaching and decorations. The kids received snow cones from a local vendor, cookie/candy bags made by the team members, and t-shirts that they colored using permanent markers. One community deep in the jungle asked if we could hire a vehicle to bring some of the children from their community to participate. 30 children traveled each day and was excited to be a part of this great event.
Then, FBC Cottage Hill and Heritage Baptist came and helped take much needed rubber boots to the communities to give to the children. about 450 pair of boots were given out. The team washed the feet of the children, then put their new socks and boots on their little feet. A time of sharing God's word with the children and their parents was the highlight of every day. Pastor Joe did a great job sharing stories with the kids. They all stared at him with their big brown eyes and listened to every word he spoke. Each team member shared their faith in some way with the people in the communities. Linda Bane with the evangacube, and Linda Josey helped using the colored cards. Harold used his disabilities as a way of testimony to encourage many. Bill Owen preached his heart out several times, and Evelyn his wife showed them how big the Heart of Jesus was through her hugs and words of encouragement. Randy kept the team going and was always on hand for what ever needed to be done. This team was a big encouragement for us, since they are our home church people and on our Casting Seeds Ministries Board. We appreciate them coming and experiencing the work we do here in the jungle.
Summer Volunteers
We had two volunteers come and help us with our ministry this summer. Christina Pierre from Pensalcola Florida, and Kaari Johnson from Minnisota helped us with the children ministry and also with team preparation. It was such a blessing to have them here. They made some lasting friendships and hopefully will one day return.
Phase One Land Fundraiser
As many of you know, we have been in the process of raising money for the Phase One Mission compound opportunity. As of date, you have given 7,334.00 towards the 20,000 goal. We are very happy to see people giving to towards the future of Casting Seeds Ministries. We have looked at several pieces of property, but have not decided on anything for sure. We will need to have cash on hand to purchase the property. So, we know God will provide the right piece of land we need at the right time. His timing, not ours.
