A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD

Bolivia Venezuela
Panama
Singapore



Philippines Belarus
Jamaica
Thailand
Brazil
Bolivia touched my heart the most. They could not speak English, but the lady on the right was the interpreter. I ended up going to the booth 3 times. The lady pictured and other ladies in their congregation crocheted finger puppets and purses. They had other things at the booth too that was hand made. It was wonderful to be able to get something from the country that was actually made there, especially by ladies in their church.

Venezuela also had hand made items. I actually was able to use some of the Spanish that I had learned in the kid's class last year to figure out that on the items it stated to pray for certain families. We ended up with one of those too.


Singapore was an awesome trip (right next to the booth we helped with). And this man (far left) is working hard to get the word out about Jesus in his country. He has a great sense of humor and just very nice to be around. It's like we have known him all our lives.


Philippines was awesome. This overseer chatted with us and we also have a picture of his family so that we can be in prayer for them and the work in the Philippines. This stop was dear to me because Phil's dad lives in this country. I believe he stated there were over 30 churches in the Philippines.


Belarus-we were able to get money from this country.


Brazil-this was a nice stop, however we couldn't communicate. We were able to figure out that a pen that had a pull out calendar on it cost $2.00 and Madison bought it. Later we found out there was printing on it that was Portuguese....wonder what is says? We did figure out it had the name of our church on it.
Well, there were many many other booths that we visited. I wanted to post a few of our stops. It was worth the trip for sure. To meet our brothers and sisters in the Lord who share the gospel everywhere and live for Jesus just like we do. God is good!
