 When we travel to other islands sometimes the Customs men come to our boat to make sure we are not bringing bad things to their island.  We aren't bringing bad things, but it good for them to check.  They want to keep their island safe. Where you live there are people whose job it is to keep you safe, like the police and firemen.  Can you think of other people who can help you?

   Kid love to play.  If they live by the water, they are going to jump off a dock and swim.
  These boys need to be in a 5 Day Club.  Churches are full of children.  But, hundreds of children do not go to church.  And, there is not a 5 Day Club near every single child in the islands.  So, how does a young person know how to get to heaven?  You may want to come to St. Croix and tell them.  I certainly want to tell EVERY child, but we could use help!.  

  It is fun to talk about Jesus.
  Every day we tell people about Jesus.   At the end of the day, we hop into the dingy and motor out to the sailboat.  Do you remember the name of the boat?  answer:  Morning Star.  Would you believe it??...Grassy plants grow on the bottom of the boat?  So, every week, we scrub that off.  It's like mowing the grass. 

   Here is our boat.  It's name is Morning Star.  Living on her is a like living in a very small house.  

We love to tell children about Jesus.  We have a lot of fun telling them, and they have fun.   Will they accept Jesus as thier savior? What do you think?  Will you pray for them? 

   Hello,  Here we are on one of our Virgin Islands.  This is our new home.  God is letting us start Good News Clubs and 5 Day Clubs.  We also teach many other people how to have many more clubs   
  Can you look down the hill and see other islands close by?  Sometimes, one island is close to the next.  We want to go to every island  and tell every boy and girl about Jesus.  

36 hours of hard thrilling sailing. We went around the 'banks' which surprised us as to how freaking the sea can be. The east end was fine because the wind came from the east, and did not carry with it the build up of the banks.

Good Morning everyone!
We are working in our new office this morning to arrange for seminars coming up in St Croix and St Thomas and St Maarten. Our office is above the laundromat which is very handy and our clothes are cleaner than ever! God is leading a individual to be the director here on St Croix, we are rejoicing!
There is an agricultural fair being held this weekend that is the biggest event of the year for this island, we are too late to get a booth set up but certainly this will be a priority for next year.
