Bethany Baptist

Day #1

Our first full day in hackberry was great! We got in last night around 12:30 and met the pastor Jason at the church. We got settled in and went right to bed. This morning we ate a great breakfast cooked by our friend Jimmy. Then we went to Bible study And got to meet some of the other congregation, everyone here is so nice! We then went to the sanctuary and went to the service, Jason rocked it. We got introduced and met a ton more people and some students that we will be hanging out with this week. After eating lunch provided by Jimmy Brown the ower of the local grocery store, we got to head out on our own and went to get some supplies, and also drove to the beach (the water is so warm!) We then had Bible study #2 taught by Jimmy brown and talked about Luke 19. after dinner we helped set up for vbs which starts tomorrow night! We're so blown away with how nice everyone is, and we feel like we haven't even done much yet! Please join us in prayer for the vbs to go well, especially the later time with the older highschool students. As we talked about Luke 19 today i was reminded that we as Christians need to be the "trees" that help others see Christ. Pray that we will be able to do this, and that we will be a blessing to the people here as we partner together in ministry. parker
