Bahamas Trip (part 2)

Well our week in the Bahamas with the youth is nearly over. We will be heading home tomorrow after an amazing week of fun and ministry here. Here's some more highlights from the second half of the week...


We finished up our work projects at the Adventure Learning Centre completely both our demolition of the goose pen as well as the ridiculously long boardwalk through the swamp/wetlands area. It brought us great joy and satisfaction to see those come to an end.


The ministry portion continued at the AIDS camp as we deepened relationships with the patients there and had the opportunity as a team to chip in together and meet some physical needs they had there. On our final day (yesterday), the students also got the opportunity to visit a neighborhood where many Haitian refugees live. It was a powerful time seeing the conditions they live in, but mostly just hanging out and having a blast with the kids there.






















Today was our last full day here and we had a team day out to downtown Nassau. We had some time to shop at the local straw market and shops, ate some local food for lunch, took a ferry ride to Paradise Island to see the Atlantis resort, then got approx. 3 hours to spend at the beach. It was a good finish/reward to the week to relax and reflect on all the good things we saw God do throughout the week. We are all exhausted and I can speak at least for me when I say we're ready to come home. It's been a lot of fun and we accomplished a lot and really bonded as a team. God is good.
