Internet Cafe Update

I did not think I would get a chance to post a blog while in the Galapagos, but I am sitting in a little Internet cafe on the island of Santa Cruz. I will save the full upate for when I get back, but what a day and what a trip.

We spent eight hours on the ocean today traveling from Isabela to Floreanna, two of the Galapagos islands. There is no prostant church on Floreanna and only a population of 110. It feels like the end of the earth. It is so remote and so volcanic and so natural. I honestly think the Galapagos are the closest thing to Eden left on earth! Man and animals coexist. We saw some huge marine iguanas today. We could actually touch them. And then a few of us went swimming with sea lions. No kidding!

So we went door to door on the island giving out the gospel of John and talking to the islanders. They seemed very open to conversation. I think part of it is the remoteness of their island. They are lonely! Hopefully our efforts are paving the way for a church plant on the island.
