Today started early! We had to be at the church for our first service by 8am. Everyone was quiet on the bus ride and a little worn out. Once we arrived and the service started it life was breathed into us all. Our students helped with the Kids Ministry in the first service and helped in the main Service at 10am. I was honored to get to speak in the 10am service. We saw around 10 people give their lives to Jesus in that service. We called people into the altars that needed prayer and the altars filled up. Our team walked through the crowd praying for people and God radically touched a lot of lives. With both services today we ministered to over 500 adults and kids.
Once lunch was over, we returned to the church for some much needed rest. You know your tired when you can sleep on a hard thin mat and enjoy it. After we all woke up we went and hung out with the students and some families of the church. They build wooden carts that we steered down a heel (I didn't get hurt). Our team laughed and bonded with the students from Colombia. Then we walked to theColiseum in town to play basketball and soccer.
Around dinner time we returned to where we are staying and got to chill and hangout for the evening. It was amazing to sit and listen to students and leaders to exchange ministry stories of the day. To see the laugh and connect on that level. After dinner we had a local coffee farmer come and set up a table for us along with some ladies who made jewelry. They were such a blessing.
Tomorrow we go into some juvenile detention centers to share the love of God. After lunch we will be doing school assemblies. Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for us! Pray for strength! Pray the Presence of God goes before us. The wifi the not stable but I am able to update you as I can.
Tomorrow is a new day with new opportunities!
