Finally, a day of rest. Not! Today we split up into three groups and went to visit three different churches. It´s amazing to see how they freely worship God in spite of the fact that the music is not amazing, coffee isn´t being served, and the AC is nonexistant.
Three little boys came into our church. They were clean and very well dressed. At the sight of these boys, we were in tears. Let me first introduce you to our little shadows. German, Darwin, Christopher, and Victor were always at the steps of our hotel. These little boys were always dirty, mischivious, and always asking for something. They always have on the same clothing and could really use some soap on their little faces. Mike H. even tried giving them a baby wipe bath, to no avail. These beautiful boys walk a mile and a half each morning to visit us. All they really want is a hug and a little bit of food.In just these few days, we have seen the difference the love of Christ has made in these tender hearts. Honey, can I bring them home?
God answered our prayers. He said no.:) The rain came, and it never stopped. Dave was really worried when he heard that possibly 10,000 people could show up. Thank goodness God knows our limitations better than we do. We had about 300 in attendance. It was amazing to see how attentive they were to such a simple film. We had many children make professions of faith. The local pastors prayed and spoke to the children about the wonderful decision they had made. Rose gave a very moving testimony and shared experiences the audience connected with. God pulled her up on the stage. He knew exactly what his children in Nagarote needed to hear.
Tomorrow we are going to present the gospel to 1500 teens using Alex´s story. Please pray for Dave and Amaris as they share. Also, continue to pray for the hearts of those listening. There are some of us that are a little sick. Don´t worry mommy, we´ll be o.k. Hugs and kisses to all those we love and miss terribly.
