Seeing God's Presence - Last night of Revival


I won't be telling everyone's story from Belize, as those will be retold as we return to Raleigh. But tonight at the Lagoon Road Baptist Church we were all blessed to see God's hand at work.

The dental team stayed at church during dinner to try to see more patients, and as we returned to church we could see that they had begun to use flash lights to see. The church was full once again as we came to the last night of our revival.

Once again their were first time visitors to the church for the service and the congregation sang their Welcome Song. Four groups came up to sing for us. One group sang in their native language, an old dialect of Mayan, and two boys from the VBS sang a duet. Pastor Jeff's sermon tonight was on the fact that God wants everyone to go to Heaven. It was a calling sermon and even though Pastor Ed did not expect it, the church pulpit area filled up with those coming to make a public profession for Christ. The impact of the dental care, the love shown to the VBS children and the pastor's message were all intertwined in the Holy Spirit's reach to these people.

God be praised.
