Good morning! Thursday, when I found out that some of the team was going to a school, I asked God did he want me to go. I didn’t get a yes and I didn’t feel compelled, so I went door to door. I found out why later. We met a lady that was a Christian and as we talked I found out we had several things in common. So I encouraged her to keep the faith and stay strong. I was meant to talk to her. It is nice to know that as we struggle through life, we can help someone else later who is in the same boat. Then we met some teens, about 6, who was sniffing something through a bandana, and they were acting silly. Our interpreter, Jasmine stated, “I’m scared” and told us why. So we gave them tracts and invited them to church and then left. I wasn’t scared. My team was Keith (missionary) and Adam. !We had another fiesta in the afternoon and I got to do a role in the Sin Box drama again. That was so much fun! One hour before the fiesta, we went door to door. A young lady accepted Christ but we all felt by the way she acted, she did it to get rid of us. However, only God knows for sure. We left the Bible and a Christian book and a tract with her. In the p.m. service, I was blessed by little girls that looked like angels in their robes who hugged all of us to greet us and then hugged us again when we left. Cool! I felt very welcomed. Breakfast is about ready so I will go. I usually lose weight on mission trips but I don’t think so this time. Fanny is a great cook. Praise the Lord! The missionaries have done an excellent job taking care of us! This is the best mission trip ever. I am so glad that the national church leaders listened to God when they decided that all teams should do evangelism this year. It has been awesome to see so many come to Christ!
Day: January 15, 2010
Greeted by Angels…
I am going to start at the end and work backwards. Tonight we went to church and were led in worship by little girls in white robes. They did interpretive dance to the worship music. It was amazing. Erin and Adam gave their testimony and both did a great job. Rich preached and then the church had a prayer for a lady that was having problems. One of the girls, one that begged me not to leave earlier in the day, came to me and wrapped her arms around me while we prayed. All of a sudden I felt her shaking and I looked down. My shirt was wet from her tears. So I sat down and held her. For the rest of the prayer time, at least 10 minutes, she cried on my neck. Afterwards I asked her if she was okay and she said yes, that she had been praying and was praising God. Isn’t amazing how a child reminds us how we should worship.
Earlier in the day we went Evangelizing in the area of the church we went to tonight and then after lunch we went back to that area to invite them to a Fiesta and to Church. We did the Fiesta in the church and had about 75 kids. THe best way to describe a Fiesta is think of VBS and doing it in one hour, without the craft. We have games, music, drama, prizes and the Gospel presentation. And then of course candy.
We saw 45 professions of faith today with 18 of them being at the Fiesta. This brings the total professions of faith so far this week to 143. God is Amazing!! How He can use the ten of us to glorify Him in this way.
Well, I need to share the computer now, so I will tell you all goodbye. Keep praying for us, we will be home soon.
God Bless,
Amy
PS
Adam, Austin and Amber – We hope you are all having fun. We miss you and love each of you very much. Keep praying for us as you have been. I cannot wait to talk to you on the phone when we get home. We will call you on Sunday. Be sure you are good for your mom and dad, and Adam, have a great Friday at school tomorrow.
How can all of this be by chance?
Atheist believe that all trees, mountains and every living thing in this world happened and came up and came to be by chance.Without looking at these next photos we already know that this is not true. However, for any of you that have some doubts of this , please, look at these next few photos for at least 3 minutes each and then go and tell me then that this all happened by chance.
