It's the first trip of the year, but for us it's been a journey that has seen us moved due to COVID, canceled due to flights. But now we are finally here. Some luggage has been misplaced but we are still happy to be here. We are so excited to be here and we can't wait to see what God will have for us this week and now we are getting ready for dinner.

There is no better feeling than to see an old friend. Pastor Julian Matthews who has dedicated most of his life to the ministry. We met him in 2019 and have developed such a strong bond. This week we not only want to be the hands and feet of Jesus, but also be there for Julian and lift him up. So we start with prayer. Join us in praying for pastor Julian!

No matter what our walk of life or where we come from, we are all united by God's grace. Today after our worship at the beach in Rincon and praying over people, we ended our day by praying over the caretaker of the tent of the surfing competition and even a woman that was touched by our worship prayed with us and we were able to talk to her and pray over her journey of life. No matter where we go we always tell them about Jesus!
