Holy Week!

It's been so long since I've been able to update!  It's been crazy busy--but that's all good, right?

We had a great Holy Week--the week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.  It was busy with preparing for outreach on Holy Thursday.  We had our church's youth group helping with the outreach and had a tremendous time with dramas and preaching right up until it started to rain.  Hard.  This was interesting since it wasn't rainy season and usually doesn't rain that time of year. 

But these teens wouldn't stop.  They went out anyway and just started talking with people and praying with people and handing out tracts.  They were inspirational.  So many people got to hear the gospel that night and we were out until 6:30 am.  I can't wait until next year!!!

Good Friday evening is completely crowded in Antigua and Mark went out with a small team of people to do some street ministry.  It was so fruitful that he was out until after midnight again!  Saturday night he was out again until really late.  It was a wonderfully fruitful time of ministry and the gospel was preached to crowds of people who had spent a lot of time that day thinking about what Jesus had done for them so many years ago.  What a blessing!

Another answer to prayer--we are always needing tracts.  It's been something that has been a real trick with getting them ordered and then shipped to someone who is coming down all at the same time that we need them.  God is so good!  Another missionary couple that we are friends with down here were talking with their chiropracters in California while they were home over Christmas and these doctors have a passion for evangelism.  They also LOVE the Living Waters tracts that Mark uses!  They wrote to him and asked him to make up a wish list of tracts that he uses.  They ordered over 52 pounds of tracts, videos, and literature for us to use!!!!!!!  They also paid for an extra suitcase for someone coming down to bring them to us.  All in time for Holy Week!  We are so grateful!  Mark had all the tracts he could use and still has some to use.  They also want to be kept up-to-date when he needs more.  What a HUGE blessing!

Thank you all for your prayers during Holy Week.  So many wonderful things happened!
