My church, Faith Baptist Church, took a missions trip to The Bahamas with ChampsMissions on April 3-9, 2016. We had six attend: Rick & Traci Arquette, David & his son, David, Eglinsdoerfer, Perry Cisco, and myself.
This was our second missions trip to The Bahamas. We had such a great time the first time, I thought I would write a blog about our adventures on this trip. I hope you will take a missions trip. Champs Missions & Rick Schuessler do a great job.
Many people snickered when we said we were doing a missions trip to The Bahamas. This place is usually associated with luxury rather than need. But if you step a few streets beyond the tourist areas, you will experience extreme poverty. The Bahamas is really a group of 700 islands in the Caribbean. Our destination, Nassau, is the capital. This island (New Providence) has a population of about 250,000 on about 80 square miles. There is a tremendous need for the gospel and spiritual growth of new believers. We are so happy to have a small part in their spiritual life.
