The Mommie & the Missionary: AIM Team Experience

For a week & a half we have been privileged to host an AIM Team from First Assembly of God in Raleigh, NC. We planned, prepared, bought food, & made lots of arrangements.... but only God knew of the amazing things that would happen while this team was here. As with anything we do to make a difference for God, satan fights! Several of them were sick on their stomachs & the first day that we ministered I myself came down with Dengue. For those of you unaware of this tropical illness.... it is a nasty high fever that is accompanied by lots of "lovely" symptoms. It is painful to the body & takes every bit of your energy. I was so upset not to be able to work as much with the the team. But praise Jesus that I am now feeling better & even though I wasn't there, the ministry continued!
The team mostly ministered in Pavia & Cabudare. In Pavia, they did VBS, street evangelism, adult services, painted the church building, & loved on the people. People were set free, lives were changed, & because of the love & dedication of this team.... Pavia was changed. Their ministry in Cabudare was similar with street evangelism & children-adult services. It was amazing to see the hand of God as this team ministered. We are forever grateful to them & their leader Pastor Ashley Penley. It was a treat working with them all. Our boys LOVED having a team of Americans here & it was such a blessing to watch the team love on our kids as well. We look forward to seeing amazing things come from those that were part of this team. Below are a few highlights of the week.
