Another World

Monday we headed out west with Gloria Geary and her three sons, Hatcher, Reed, and Harrison. They had enjoyed a rousing Latin church service Sunday morning, and we were now taking them to another area of the country. This family has spent the last year of their lives traveling to 17 different nations to share the message and love of Jesus Christ with others. They primarily have done so using a bracelet with six colors that each represent an aspect of christian life (heaven, sin, Jesus, forgiveness, Holy Spirit, and growth). Even the youngest child, 7 year old Harrison does an excellent job of sharing the colors and what they represent. Our first ministry stop with them was in a small primitive village called El Copey. We have been there so many times over the years that they felt quite free to lovingly chastise us for having been away for most of this year! The Geary family hit the ground running, wasting no time heading out to meet the residents of this small community. They were loving on children within minutes.
