Found my niche.

Went door to door evangelizing today, it does still scare me a little but maybe I am getting better at evangelism. Today I was teamed  with Hector,  Amy and Mary and am learning more and more. I enjoy talking about Jesus and how my life has changed. There was one rededication and six confessions of faith with our group.

After sharing we enjoyed our first soda in a bag thanks to Amy and Hector. This was fun and I have picture to prove that.

Then there was prayer downtown at the Santidad church of Comoyagua. Church members stayed in the church while teams went out to invite people in for prayer. I was teamed with Mary, Carmen and Isaiah.

I was really excited to do this. When all the teams quickly returned to the church I suggested we head out and talk to people. I talked to the first person in my faltering Spanish and Carmen was fantastic  in translating. Our team walked the park approaching all in the park even praying for a few that wanted prayer but did not want to walk to the church.

We team prayed, each one of us praying while Carmen translated. Finally we stood at the corner and talked and prayed  to many people, directed even more people to the church.

Today I am proud of myself, I talked to a few people in Spanish and invited them to receive prayer without using the translator. I am now motivated to learn Spanish and become more involved in street evangelism.

Yes I have found my niche.

The Weather

While it is certainly warm here (which definitely beats the possible blizzard back home) I at the moment am under the weather. I woke up in the middle of the night congested with a sore throat. Not good when your responsibility on this trip is to speak and preach.

So I ask for you prayers this morning as I stayed back at the house to rest while the rest of the team are out in downtown Comayagua sharing the gospel with anyone who will listen.

The trip is almost half way complete, and that brings a level of sadness with it, but it is also the point of the week when the aching muscles and lack of sleep begin to show there effects. Pray for all of us that we will be rejuvenated for the remainder of the trip.

We have witnessed 21 professions of faith so far this week and a number of rededication’s. We have also been blessed to speak with numerous people who we were able to encourage this week.

The team has also encountered people who had never heard anything about God before, not even about heaven or hell. It definitely is an area of great need.

La Rotaria

We spent the day in La Rotaria going door to door sharing the gospel and then had a fiesta and after that a church service. It was a full day.

This little guy melted my heart. His name is David and he is 7 years old and super smart but he can’t go to school because he’s blind and they don’t have program for him. He showed me where his shoe was broke because he fell on a rock. He told me he falls a lot but it’s not his fault he said with a smile.

Susie and I played with the kiddos in the between time of the fiesta and the service. We had a great time and even after church the kids kept coming with their thumbs up ready to play 🙂
