Sunday Day 2

Hello Mission and COC,

What an amazing journey God has sent our group on. We attended church this morning in the city and were able to worship with the local people here in Fiji. The spirit is so alive and present here. After church we got lunch to go and took it to the sea wall to eat it. While we were there we witnessed pastors from one of the local churches praying with one of their members on the shore, and taking him right into the ocean and baptizing him. What an awesome thing to be able to see. We took a very long hike through the jungle as a group in search of a waterfall. After what seemed like forever, we finally came to this beautiful spring in the middle of the jungle. As we walked underneath the waterfall, the force of the water coming down was so powerful and majestic; I was reminded of how great our God is.

The women of Homes of Hope have been so good to our group. It is such a joy to see the smiles on all of their faces as we get a chance to interact and spend time with them. They are so appreciative of all of us being here and further expanding the campus, but most importantly sharing the love of Christ as members of one body. It is humbling being able to serve the Lord in this capacity. Thanks to everybody who has made this trip possible through your prayers, and support. A very special thanks to all the family members we left behind to take care of our families. We truly could not do it without all of you.

Paul Cicero

Romans 12:9-13

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil: cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
