Today has been so amazing. The entire trip has been more than I ever could have imagined, but today was especially great. This morning we began our door to door evangelism in a very poor area of Comayagua with children and adults being all around. They were all very receptive and welcoming, but very few knew about Jesus, which was exactly why we are here. We saw a total of 21 people pray to recieve Christ today. Praise the Lord. But 1 special little boy really sticks out in my mind. As Stephanie was going through the gospel with a little girl on her door step a little boy came up and sat down on a rock and was listening. I then had the great opportunity to sit down beside him and tell him about God ( of which he had never heard of), and that we are sinners, and how we can have forgiveness because of Jesus’ death on the cross and his resurrection. Then Nelson prayed the sinners prayer and recieved Jesus as his Lord and Savior. We gave him a track, some candy, a frisbee, and a Spanish New Testament Bible. It was great to see his excitement for us and more importantly his new Savior Jesus Christ. Little Nelson then proceeded to follow us all the way back to the church and waved goodbye as our van drove away. It was such a blessing to be the tool that God used to spread His message. God is working in these peoples lives. So I have learned that when you greet a brother in Christ you call him hermano, which means brother. So from now on when I see little Nelson, I will call him hermanos, Nelson!

“suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven,” wesley, this picture reminds me of what it must have felt like for His dispicles to go out into their cities and towns and spread the message of Jesus for the “first” time.I’m sure you feel the same way. Oh the lives that are being touch, changed forever by the love of
Christ thru His servants, if only our families and friends that have gone astray, would be so hungry for Christ!I praise God for what he is doing for you all and for all the souls that are going to come to know Him this week!… Praise God, Hallelujah, glory be to God, for you are a great Father,Jesus, and we give you all praise, Amen my prayers daily,lol mom
Praise God for Nelson and for all the others. I will pray for his spiritual growth as well as other needs. Thank you both so much for all that you’re doing for the kingdom. Jane (works with Amy B)
