Kingdom Sail

Today was our last day of the trip with the teens but still a great one. We went snorkelling over a ship wreck in Deep Bay and then sailed on over to Jolly Beach. We had a fun time doing our man over board drills and all took it in turns to take different roles. We then had swim time anchored at Jolly Beach and time to pack before heading into docks for showers and some cold drinks. We then had some amazing burgers made by Charli and Isaac before some ice cream on the bow. We even saw a manta ray behind the boat! We then had a birthday cake to celebrate Paisley’s birthday tomorrow. We wish our teens all the best on the travels home and have had an amazing time with them all!

Today we set sail to Green island with Katie and Paisley helming for us. After our long sail we had relaxation time to hike, snorkel and paddleboard. We were lucky enough to see turtles and a baby shark today as well as a lot of fish. We rounded off our day with meatballs made specially by Isaac and and devotions focusing on integrity.

Today was all about Missions and sharing Jesus wherever we go

Loved being in the schools

We have really been enjoying ministering at Buckley’s Primary. Principal Robert’s is such a blessing and we love these kids and the country-side atmosphere. After Kingdom Sail presented an interactive Bible story of the Good Samaritan, we were connected with the principal from another school and she said, come on over! We made our way to minister to the kids In John Hughes Village. Such a fun time! Thank you Jesus for more open doors! God

Today we experienced Sunday the Caribbean way by resting, relaxing and playing on the paddleboard this morning before then going off to afternoon church. We were asked by Pastor Billy to host kids church and for Allen to preach the sermon to the adults. Aubry, Charlotte, Luciano and Deborah ran kids church by playing games, singing songs and reading the bible whilst also giving out prizes. We focused on the fisherman’s coin in the Sea of Galilee to pay off his tax and got the kids to all make their own fish to do a race across the sea. We taught them the Galilee song and gave them coins with bible verses on which Paisley and Aubry brought with them on the trip. Allen preached a sermon to the adults during this time on shining your light and then with the help of the teens proceeded to pray for the church congregation. It was wonderful to break through to so many people in the church. We love coming back to New Life Antigua on our trips and are now building strong connections with the congregation. We then headed back to the boat for devotions and fajitas. I’m so thankful that the teens got to experience a traditional Caribbean church today with both an English and Spanish service.

Today was a fun filled day. We started off the day by eating special shaped pancakes made for us by Aubry and Paisley. We then had a local market shopping morning to get presents for our families before then going back to the boat to move over to Pigeon Beach. Paisley was our skipper of the day and took us around to the next bay. We then all tendered on in onto the beach to then play games with the Antiguan youth group who we met last night. We then all headed to the boat and hosted the youth group for a bbq and mini party onboard. Both Allen and pastor Billy helped to cook the bbq. Our teens had the chance to mingle with the youth and chat with them on board which was lovely to see. We ended the night with a big group devotion and prayer session so that the church youth group could experience what our KingdomSail evening reflections are like.
