We are on the beautiful island of Provenciales in the western Turks and Caicos Islands. The resort that Tom is working for is called Beaches and is an all-inclusive resort - kind of like a cruise, but on land. I'm loving it! Tom left to work with Andre' today going through all the kitchens in the new Italian Village section. He is hoping to finish quickly so we can have some time together while here. I'm planning to work on my book while he is working, so it will be time well-spent for me.
Now for the cool part. Those of you who go to Metro Life Church know that we recently went through a series called "Proclaim" - Joining God in the Unstoppable Spread of the Gospel. It's about sharing the Gospel with everyone we associate with on a daily basis. We were talking about how God postponed our trip so many times, and wouldn't it be just like Him to make it so we could meet certain people that wouldn't have been here if we had come sooner? We prayed that God would help us to share the Gospel.
As soon as we got in the hotel's shuttle from the airport the radio was playing Christian music! The song playing was one I had never heard before, but the message was quite current: "I am not ashamed of the Gospel!" How kind of God to remind us of our desire and to let us know that He had heard our prayer.
That evening as Andre' was taking us for a walk around the resort, he told us that he had been in Orlando only a week ago! He asked us where we live because he has a townhouse there. After telling him we asked where his townhouse was located - he said in a city called Casselberry! We couldn't believe it - of course we told him that's where our church is located! He asked what church and so the dialog began. Tom left this morning to spend the day with him equipped with the How Good Are You tract. Pray that he will have an opportunity to share the Gospel with him today. Pray that we will have even more opportunities as we enjoy the beauty of God's creation.
