The First Weekend

On Saturday we had a ladies and mens fellowship day at the church in Conference, and we shared our favourite passages in the Bible as well as anything that was on our hearts. It was a great opportunity to build friendships with the Grenadians and team members. Then we came back to the hotel for some worship. We also taught some of the youth how to play instruments. It was such a great day, and the people here are such a blessing for our team.

On Sunday we split up into three groups and helped out with the church services in Conference, Paradise, and St. Georges. It was a lot of fun, because it was quite different than the churches back home (the worship especially). We lead adult bible studies, children's sunday school, worship, and drimes. Then we came back to the hotel for some great fellowship with the youth and children that live in our area. Everything went very well, and we all got to see some great things that God was doing at each church.

Mom, Dad, Ty, and friends, I miss you all so much!! I can't wait to tell you about this crazy adventure! xoxo

Photo's as Promised

Here are some photo's of the place that we are staying. It is called Sam's Inn and located in St. Andrews here in Grenada. Some of our team is preparing to minister on Sunday at three separate churches. It is very cool getting to be apart of so many churches and the way our team stands to the challenge and offers up gifts that we didn't even know were there. The country is beautiful and the food has been great, (the chicken was delicious) and the people we have met are very amazing. Our days start off with worship and devotions before breakfast and is a very unifying time for our team. God bless all of you. -Rachelle Greiner (Also, the other camera's have more of our ministry work, and the cup photo is what we got as a welcoming present.)

Work Day 1

wowza'S!!!! to think we actually made it. And wow, are we ever treated like royalty. Our girls home is cozy, and fits us so well. Kitchen talk and prayer on arrival day was such a hopeful start. The first day at the site accomplished and heck it was just a party. The teams unity is so beautiful.
Returning to this incredible country, full of outstanding people has been nothing but a massive blessing! The church here and my friends from last year make me feel like i never left.

Love living for today

(So for work we started construction. We had an assembly line and brought buckets full of cement (that we mixed by hand) and poured the flooring of the Sunday School that is being added onto the main church building. We started building the walls with cement blocks and had a very productive day. It was tiring and exhausting but our contact Reverend Jackie said that we were one of the most willing to work teams she has had. Our team is awesome and everyone has a great work ethic. )

Safe and Sound

We have made it here to Grenada safe and sound. This trip was a huge answer to prayer. Firstly we had too many checked luggage bags because we were bringing in many vitamins (like 17 big boxes)into the country and the airport let us have the over baggage for free. Thank God. We flew from Seattle into Dallas, then into Miami and finally into Grenada. The transfer from Dallas from Miami was only about 10 minutes! We ran through the airport and got to the gate on time with a couple minutes to spare. No one got sick on any of the flights. On one flight we ordered sandwiches to share between people, when we attempted to pay the attendant she said later later later and finally at the end of the flight she said that we could get it for free. The day was long, as we drove through Grenada to the town of St.Andrews where we got into our rooms and settled for the night. Please keep praying as we see more miracles and blessings pour out on the team and the Grenadians.

Carriers of Encouragement

Today is the day we left for Seattle. Excitement and anticipation fill the minds and emotions of the Lifelaunch team and even though everyone feels drained from life and the past school-year God is still faithful and works outside of our boxes. This morning began with worship and prayer. We spent some time encouraging each other through prayer and song. Lifting those who are under pressure up to God. It is a beautiful thing to be alerted by the Holy Spirit to pray for each other, our struggles and stresses. Packing seemed stressful at the time, but in the end we didn't exceed our weight limit. God also blessed us with a very quick and easy passage at the border. Soon we will all be asleep.

Our Team Before We Head Out

3 More Days!

Hey All!

So we are preparing for our trip to Grenada! 3 more days! I cannot believe how fast the time went by this semester. Today we all spent a good portion of our time with Dennis and in other meetings practising music and dance, getting office work completed and packing supplies! God has been so good to us, providing all that we asked for and much more to bring as gifts to the people in Grenada. Thank you Jesus

As we continue to prepare and pack please pray that our hearts would be at the ready, willing and open to what God intends to do in and through us on this trip. All glory belongs to God! Woot!

Where we are Going

This is the Church that the Lifelaunch missions team did last year. We will be working with this church in building a Sunday school building as well as many other ministries.Here is the basics of what we will be doing…

One-on-one evangelism
Door-to-door walks/evangelism
Open air crusades–skits, dramas, testimony, worship
Children Sunday School Teachers
Adult Sunday School Teachers
Senior Preachers
Mature Leaders for Leadership Teaching
Of course, construction
We also have a healing service on Friday nights

What I need from you for support is Prayer. Please pray over each place I will be ministering in. Pray for safety. Pray for hearts to be readied.

Getting Ready

The Lifelaunch team is getting ready to go to Grenada while doing drama's, dance's, music and kids ministry preparation.
