3.27.07 - Eleuthera Trip cont.
I had the privilege of seeing my good friend Mono again; he was one of the guys who I had been discipling each summer I spent in Eleuthera. Mono has been through some extremely difficult times, and his journey towards maturity is filled with distractions and failures. It seems that each time I return to Eleuthera, Mono has another major crisis in his walk with the Lord.
This trip too revealed a chance for me to minister to Mono. Mono has little baby girl with his girlfriend, and during the week of our visit, Mono was unexpectedly shunned and rejected by his girlfriend’s family from serving as his baby’s father. Mono knows that he has made mistakes, but he genuinely wishes to get straight – yet it seems the whole world is against him. I was thankful to serve as sounding board and voice of discretion for my friend, and it is my prayer that the Lord would use these trials to draw Mono back to Himself.
Our other encounters with our Bahamian friends was less dramatic, yet equally rewarding. We were able to see Leige again, and had a sweet reunion with him again. Additionally, all the old friends from the basketball court were frequently greeted, along with the traditional regulars of Billy and Brenda, Wade and Tammy, Horatio, Jared, Bernadette, and Tracy… I could go on and on.
Finally, our trip was successful in that we accomplished our goal. This trip was focused around getting enough video footage to create a promotional video and DVD to send to our contacts for the purpose of raising support. And I’m thankful to report I’ve got around 8 hours of video which I will spend the next year trimming into around 15 minutes!
Thank you to everyone who was praying for our trip. We could certainly feel the Lord’s hand of direction and protection as we ministered.
