Trinidad: Day 3

WooWhoo for Pictures!!!

Thankfully I'll get to sum up our day in pictures. I'm hoping the internet connection will cooperate with me the rest of the way. Enjoy.

This morning we arrived in our "circle" for devotions at 8:00am. A few people were tired but for the most part, everyone was attentive. Good job team.


After orientation meetings with Jen Bachew (light blue t-shirt) she took us on a tour of 2 Hindu temples.


Not only did we see and learn about several major Hindu gods, but we also witnessed 2 outdoor cremations.


This picture was taken outside one of the temples and each flag represents one of the 330,000,000 + Hindu gods. Jesus is one them.


An 85 foot tall Hindu god.


After coming home, most of us took advantage of the hour long break to do some swimming. In this particular case, Reggie did some jumping.


Supper was served and everyone was dressed in their "Sunday best" for a 2 hour long church service. Normally people would complain about the length of service but the Trini Christians love God and it shows in their worship. They aren't afraid of what other people may think of them singing and worshipping for God. A great lesson for the American churches.

Pastor Tim was the guest preacher for the night. His time to prepare for the sermon...about 15 minutes. He did a great job! His humor along with basic life applications had people saying "Amen" several times through out his teaching.

End of day 3.

Tomorrow we visit a church plant in the morning and a wedding in the afternoon. Be on the look out for more pics!

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
"For I will be merciful to their iniquties, and I will remember their sins no more." —Hebrews 8:12

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
"...and I will remember their sins no more." I can't even comprehend how that is possible. I would think it would make sense to forgive our sins when we ask for forgiveness, but not completly forget them. That way, you always have the "sin card" to play. You can always bring the person to guilt saying "yes but, remember when..." Just another degree of how much God loves us by not even remembering when we sin against Him.
