Day 4 Update

 

Hi prayer gang.

 

We board up onto four different buses every morning to go to our four different sites. See attached pics.  We basically witness door to door in the mornings.  Some of those visits are follow up visits from previous days.  Then we eat lunch at the church we are

serving...see pics.  Lunch has always been good and a great time with the people.

 

After lunch we do a variety of ministries...one is park ministry where we use the puppets, band, drama, or ensemble.  They have rotated to all four sites.   During park ministry we draw a crowd and share the gospel personally through our translators.  The ratio of translators to our group is about 1 of them for every 2 of us.  Great experience.

 

By the way, if you are wondering why I am using three dots a lot and that I have not been using parenthesis or quotations...well...the keyboard is all weird.  I found an internet cafe near the hotel.  I have been using that the last few nights.

 

Other ministries that we are doing during the day are school and hospital visits, bible clubs for kids, and church services.  All has been fruitful.  I know everyone is exhausted right now.  It has been non stop.  I am beat down.  But fulfilled and full of joy.

 

Tomorrow we are going to the bible institute and out for a nice meal.  Don’t feel like we are using your money unwisely though...the nice steak will only cost like 5 bucks a pop.

 

One of the biggest blessings has been what God is doing in el jaguel.  We have been helping them plant a church.  On Sunday AM we had 20 people.  Monday night we

had 60...Tuesday night we had 120!  WOW!  We have used some of the funds to rent a new building for the church.  God is at work!

 

Today I went to tessi del rio...formerly buneos aires 1...great group.  Our students were blessed to lead many to Christ.  We bought children food in their food kitchen and kids who rarely eat other than at school, enjoy dinner tonight.  That was a huge blessing.

 

I need to let you know I may not post again until Friday morning.  We will not be in tomorrow night until after midnight.  Can I have an excused absence please?...

 

Please pray we will be healthy for the trip home.  Some light colds have hit a few of our students and adults...including me.  Everyone is still plugging away and not complaining. God has been so wonderful to us.

 

in Christ
