THIRD DAY AT ALC - ALL SAINTS CAMP

Today (really yesterday...I couldn't post yesterday because of an internet issue!) we went had breakfast, group devotions, and then drove to All Saints Camp. This property is for those with A.I.D.S. and other diseases. There are about 40 residents who live in tiny cottages. Each habitation is subdivided into two so the square footage is appr. 8’ by 10’ each. A vast majority have no bathrooms but use bathhouses at the edge of the camp. Adventure Learning Center has linked up with All Saints Camp to improve their dwelling conditions.

We spent the day taking a tour of the camp and then spending time one on one with the residents. We then made sandwiches for them and passed them out cottage to cottage furthering our relationships with them. Some know the Lord and some need to come to know the Lord. We encouraged everyone we met and lifted them up to the Lord.

(Mat 25:36) 'I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'

HERE IS A ROW OF TINY COTTAGES

HERE IS THE SMALL SPACE THE RESIDENTS LIVE IN. MANY ARE NOT ABLE TO GET OUT BECAUSE OF THEIR DISABILITIES.

+++

HERE IS THE BATHHOUSE THE COMMUNITY SHARES. IT HAS TOILETS, SINKS, AND SHOWERS. GROUPS HAVE COME IN AND PAINTED SCRIPTURES WITH LIVELY COLORS.

+++

THIS IS THE CHAPEL IN THE CENTER OF ALL SAINTS CAMP. BAHAMAS IS RICH IN CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND AND IS PREDOMINANTLY PROTESTANT.

INSIDE OF CHAPEL

THIS IS MISS MOXEY. SHE LOVES THE LORD AND WE HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE WORD WITH HER AND PRAY.

(Rom 1:12) that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

++

KELSEY IS ON THE LEFT AND HER FRIEND KELSIE IS ON THE RIGHT. KELSIE IS FROM A DEDICATED CHRISTIAN FAMILY BACK IN CORONA, CA, AND CAME ALONG WITH OUR FAMILY. THIS IS KELSIE'S FIRST MISSION TRIP AND SHE IS LEARNING SO MUCH ABOUT MISSIONS AND IS ADJUSTING WELL TO THE CULTURE AND THE WAY OF THINGS. (BOTH YOUNG LADIES JUST GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL)

(1 Tim 4:12) Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

THIS IS ON THE WAY OUT OF MISS MOXEY'S COTTAGE. WHAT A GREAT REMINDER FOR US AMERICAN CHRISTIANS WHO ARE TYPICALLY SPOILED AND HAVE THE TENDENCY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SMALLEST OF ADVERSITIES.

(Phil 2:14) Do all things without complaining and disputing,
