Thursday July 3 Mexico update
It’s been a day that few of us will EVER forget! Here’s the recap:
VBS Team … this was their final day with the kids, and they presented the salvation message in the morning, and had a “fiesta” in the afternoon.
It was a very tiring 4 days for this team, but an awesome experience … and they will ALL have great stories to tell when they get back home!
Please pray for them now as they “come down” from this … that God would keep the passion alive even though they are finished with the task they had been given.
Mercy Team … spent the day at a local orphanage, and were deeply moved by this experience.
Not being able to open their lunch cooler, because there wasn’t nearly enough food to share with the multitude of hungry children, made the day a little longer … but they survived! And being able to supply the orphanage with about $2000 worth of food and other supplies was a wonderful privilege!
Please pray for them as they process all that they experienced … that it would change/impact them in exactly the way God wants!
Building Teams … both teams “gave the keys” to their respective families today, in ceremonies that brought tears to just about every eye in attendance!
As each team member passed the keys along the circle, they spoke a word or two of blessing and/or appreciation to the family, which was translated by Pastor Tony. And then we prayed for the family and for their new home.
Please pray for all 67 of us on Friday morning, as we go back to each home with additional gifts of furnishings, and as we surround these homes in a huge circle of prayer, that we would represent Jesus and His church well, and that we would demonstrate His love to these folks through this!
Then following the gifts and prayers at each house, we will be enjoying homemade fish tacos (apparently a much-sought-after treat here) at a giant FIESTA celebration at the new home of the single mom and her 2 daughters! It’s going to be so great!
Also on Friday (afternoon, supper) will be our “tourist trip” to La Boofadora, one of only 3 natural oceanic blowholes in the world (or so I’m told) … where we have a few hours to shop/barter and have our supper, as we begin to wind down from a very emotional and impactful week of ministry here. Pray for safety and fun together in all of this.
On behalf of your co-laborers in His kingdom …
