Our final afternoon in Sri Lanka was spent sharing a beautiful lunch with senior ministers Dr Lalith Mendis and his dear wife, Hiranthi. After a little shopping, we returned to pack and say our goodbyes to Timothy Daniel and his beautiful wife Viji and children Kaitlyn, Aiden and Jeska
We’re writing this as our plane takes off, grateful to God for every step He led us through. It’s bittersweet to close this little journal and leave a place and people who have come to mean so much to us. Goodnight, Sri Lanka. You’ll always have a place in our hearts. Until next year 🤍 ...

A rest day for the team after a busy week 🤍 We visited a turtle hatchery, where holding the tiniest baby turtles completely melted our hearts. From there, we enjoyed a beautiful four-course lunch at a resort, followed by time beside the pool and beach, and afternoon tea. A peaceful day to reflect, recharge and refill our cups before flying home tomorrow. ✈️🐢 ... See MoreSee Less
Rainy skies and misty roads couldn’t stop the people of Hatton from making the trek to Timothy Daniel’s father’s church and filling the hall. We were deeply moved by their faithfulness as Ps. Harley shared the word, followed by a powerful time of prayer—where some gave their lives to Christ for the very first time. 🤍
After lunch with the congregation, we packed our bags and began the 4 hour journey back to Colombo, stopping for a delicious team dinner before settling in at home and ending the night with a heartfelt debrief. A beautiful final day in Hatton that we’ll carry with us. ... See MoreSee Less
What a beautiful day in Nuwara Eliya! Over 100 village children filled the halls for a joyful outreach of worship, songs, face painting, tote-bag decorating, a jumping castle and so much more.
After the Rise team performed a skit, we shared a precious altar moment where more than 75 children raised their hands to follow Jesus.
The boys reached a wonderful milestone after reaching back home - finally completing the aquaponics system they had worked so faithfully on!
We finished the day exhausted but overflowing with joy, watching the seeds planted so gently begin to blossom. Tomorrow marks our final day in Hatton before travelling back to Colombo 🤍 ... See MoreSee Less
The girls spent another beautiful day with the women, sharing the importance of movement, friendship and doing life together — with Ruthie’s famous DIY oatmeal facemasks leaving everyone glowing! ✨
Meanwhile, the boys kept the aquaponics project moving, Pas individually wrapped 100 backpacks ready for tomorrow’s outreach, and of course we couldn’t let the day pass without singing a very loud Happy Birthday to Troy! 🎈🎂 ... See MoreSee Less
