This morning we traveled through the community with the intention of sharing the gospel & building relationships with families... and God did much more than that!
Every single family shared prayer requests with us and allowed us to pray over their home. We were lead into many homes to pray over sick family members in bed & many people accepted Jesus Christ for the first time. Praise God!
Every family welcomed us into their homes with open arms. And we began to think about this:
Imagine walking door to door in America & asking families what you could pray for them about... End Result: a door shut in your face. (most of the time)
And yet, here we are, a bunch of English-speaking Gringos, being welcomed into homes...bombarded with prayer requests... & thanked for praying over them and their families. God is so good & this country is truly blessed.

This afternoon, Rose lead a bible study for the women and Craig lead one for the men. God-ordained turn out!!
The women were giggling, smiling & extremely receptive to what God was saying through Rose. They painted each others finger & toe nails, painted pots to plant seeds in & spent time in fellowship with one another.The men were blessed through the wise words of Craig & walked miles to attend the Bible Study (even days after surgery.)
We spent some time with the children in the orphanage, and Benji (of course) was lovin' on those babies! We told the Mom's it was okay if Benji came and stole their babies... he does that at home too.. and he'll always bring them back. ;-)
And at the orphanage this evening we got the opportunity to see our first lizard tied to a key chain.... the kids thought it was hilarious!
Praise God for our team fellowship time this evening... laughing until our stomach's hurt and tears in our eyes.
Thank you for your prayers.
The Kingdom of God grew today because of you.
Until tomorrow...

I knew it wouldn't take Benji long to get ahold of those babies!!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading about the amazing things you are doing. Keep the posts coming! Our family has a rope and we have been praying for all of you, "but especially Benji because he came to my game" Clayton said. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an Amazing day! It must be so exciting to wake up everyday pumped & ready to spread God's Word and to be greeted with open arms. I wish I was there to experience and celebrate all these incredible moments. Praying for all of you, knowing tomorrow will bring bigger and better things! GOD IS GOOD!! LOVE YOU GUYS! (Benjie-I cried when I saw you holding that precious, precious baby...I am so jealous but filled with such joy & happiness for you:-))
