Yesterday in Barbados was sort of like a Conyers snow day. We have so little snow in the metro area that when it does snow, everything shuts down. That's the way it was in Barbados yesterday. You can see the flooded roadway to the mission house in the picture.
Below is the note I received early today from Jason.
"We had a “rain day” in Barbados (think snow day in Georgia). It started raining around 6:00 am and continued to rain off and on all day. The roads into the Baptist College flooded, as did many of the major intersections on the island. The schools closed early and most of the island shut down. Tony came by to check on us and to warn us not to try to go out. Pastor Sam also called to call off our outreach for the afternoon. He also suggested that handing out literature on Friday would be too late to get people to the movie, so we are effectively done with the Gospel Saturation effort and will wrap up with the movie on Friday. He suggested that we use the free time to pray for those who already have packets and for those who made decisions last night. We were a little disappointed at the loss of a day, but we made the most of it and spent two hours in group prayer this afternoon.
The rain did bring a welcome cooling in temperature, although the humidity is a bit higher (if that’s even possible). We are hoping that the rain is over for now and that the roads will be dry enough tomorrow to venture out to the beach in the morning before meeting back at People’s Baptist Church at 5:00 PM for a debriefing session with Pastor Taylor.

Pray that the weather cooperates tomorrow and that the rain does not keep people from coming to the movie. Also pray that any obstacles and distractions are removed so that the message is clearly communicated".
We continue to pray for the team, their travel safety and the showing of the movie tonight. We want God to be honored and set up the conditions in our lives that He might be honored in and through us. Praise the LORD!
