This morning I had the privilege of preaching of preaching at Antioch Baptist Church. Pastor Freddie Boyd started the church 23 years ago - it is the oldest and largest Kuna Baptist Church in the area.
Here is Pastor Freddie and myself.
Most everything in these communities is built on the side of a hill - so there is much up and down hill walking. The church is at the bottom of this hill and it was drizzling as we walked. Brought a whole new meaning to prayer walk! (Grin)
Here is the front of the Church.
Typical to Central American Churches - the main Sunday Service will be in the Evening, but the morning service was well attended.
I taught from Matthew 22:35-37 where Jesus talks about the greatest commandment and also living others. We talk about how a genuine love for God always manifests a love for people. Also in John 13:35 - that love is evidence that you are a true follower of Jesus.
At the end of the service many people came to the front for prayer. It seemed - at least from my perspective - to have been a good service of genuine worship.
This is a photo of the typical house in this community.
After church was over, we did what good Baptist do ... We ate!
While we were waiting to eat, Pastor Freddie asked if I would walk with him to go and pray for a sick church member. We walk to the home of this lady - Nana. I'm not for sure what she was suffering from - but she was comforted by our visit and prayer. Please take a moment and lift her up in your prayers
