A Day of Rest in Mission -Team Barnabas

Finding rest doesn't have to mean doing nothing. There is sweet rest in service for the Lord. As we travel around getting to experience each of the teams and the work they are doing, we see some sweet examples of rest in the midst of service. As the construction team works hard putting up drywall in the heat they are surprised with a moment of rest getting to have a water balloon fight to cool down. As our artists create a mural to depict the wonderful things Camps on the Rio is doing in their community they are blessed with a moment of rest to enjoy raspas, as did many other teams. Team Timothy was blessed with unexpected free time to enjoy activities around the camp. Children were seen taking time to enjoy playing Jenga, carpet ball, swimming, and goofing around on a skateboard. Youth were found enjoying the quiet of the beautiful garden behind the soccer field where the Lord is sure to unveil his promises. Our Bible study leaders provided rest to the women of the community of Los Naranjos and in turn received rest through their conversation and building relationships. When we allow the Lord to to teach us how to rest in Him we will receive true rest. - Mary
