Since we have moved back to Virginia Beach we have been able to receive nursing care for our son Daniel. One of our nurses is from the Virgin Islands. I was talking to her about her family and where she grew up; and mentioned we had some good friends, Pastor James Bell and his wife, Ailene, as well as St. Claire Mitchell, that were from Dominica. She got so excited because Pastor Bell was her pastor as a child and her mom knew him well.
When she heard we were going to St. Thomas she was excited because that is where she went to high school and her mom is still there. While we were in St. Thomas I called her mom and she met us and took us to her church and introduced me to her pastor, Ashley Estrada. Her mom is very proud of what their congregation has been able to do. The congregation built their church and it is debt free. It is a beautiful church.
I am including pictures for you to see. They view is awesome...you can see the ocean from the balcony of the church!
The old saying, "It is a small world," is so true. There have been many times we have run into people who know people that are friends of ours. God's family is so big and awesome. It is amazing.
It could be a glimpse of heaven.I will be posting again soon...until then enjoy the pictures of Kingdom Life International Christian Center in St. Thomas.

Merry Christmas! These pictures are amazing! I grew up with Christmas of palm trees and beaches :)
The pictures are beautiful. We really enjoyed St. Thomas when we ported there.
I love how God orchestrates our lives!
