Quite busy.  On Friday we began the day with a school program.  Lots of fun the kids were great!  Friday evening I did a program with the student ministry of the church.  Saturday morning there was a program with the kids ministry that was &#8220;all out&#8221; and the kids were responsive but a bit &#8220;wild&#8221;.  Fun!<br \/>\nSunday morning began at 7 a.m. with a baptism in the ocean. I played Amazing Grace as the service began and the service was beautiful.  The worship service was great that morning at the church with observance of the Lord&#8217;s Supper.  I did 20 minutes of my ministry then the Lord&#8217;s Supper. At the invitation there was an altar full including one profession of faith from a gentleman the pastor had been &#8220;working on&#8221; for a very long time and although keeping the relationship felt as though he would never see that man come to Christ.  Praise the Lord!<br \/>\nSunday afternoon Patty and I flew to the island, Cayman Brac, to do a joint worship service for the island making history.  It was the first time in anyone&#8217;s memory where all the churches attempted to join together for a service.  A wonderful night, again with an altar full in prayer at the conclusion.<br \/>\nWe flew back to Grand Cayman on Monday morning and took a couple of days to &#8220;recover&#8221; and have some time for ourselves.  We arrived back in Birmingham around 9 p.m. last night and headed home getting in around 12:30 a.m.<br \/>\nThanks for the prayers,<br \/>\nJohn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was an exciting time of ministry in the Cayman Islands.
