Normally after taking a break, it takes a while before the momentum can start the ball rolling again. It was fitting that the first activity that resumed for the new school term was our monthly prayer meeting. Prayer is the engine that powers this ministry, as it acknowledges our total dependence on God. Without His help and enabling, the work of ISCF Grenada would not be effective. We are grateful to the faithful few who have committed to supporting the ministry in this way.

| Hearts united in prayer |
Nine students from three different schools attended the
training and planning session for student leaders at the St. George’s
Evangelical Bible Church on Saturday 10th January 2015. After a couple Getting to Know You and Team Building
activities, we conducted a bible session on holy and righteous living. This
session was very interactive and well received by the students, who asked
questions about how to practically live the Word of God. Students then spent
time praying for one another in the areas where they needed to be more
committed to God.

After lunch we examined how to present a Bible lesson using the Hook, Book, Look, Took
method. Students were then put into groups and given topics which they had to
present to the group using this teaching method. The students did a good job in
the limited time they were given.

We then looked at the topics which were suggested for the next academic term, and discussed ideas which could be used in presenting each one. The final segment was prayer, with students praying for God to move in their ISCF groups this term, and also receiving prayer for areas in their lives where they were struggling.

The Board of ISCF Grenada resumed its monthly meetings. Time was spent in prayer, as well as discussing plans for the year, and how they would be executed.

Details of the resumption of the meetings in the schools will be given in a subsequent post. We give God thanks that the wheels have started back turning, and look forward to great things in store for ISCF Grenada in 2015.
We praise our great heavenly Father for the willing and committed hearts, hands and feet of those who identify with the mission of ISCF and take action to make it happen
ReplyDeleteGood morning, how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because through them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this, I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Grenada? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Grenada in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
