Hard to believe we only have 10 more days in Mexico. Then racing to Guatemala.
This morning 5 Alive was given an awesome opportunity to join our hosts
Within 10 minutes the church was full of children, women, and a few old men. (The fathers and husbands were somewhere working?) Close to 100 people came, and they didn’t even know we were coming…it was a surprise visit. As soon as everyone was settled on benches and chairs (all women on one side of the church and men on the other, is the custom here) Eleazer cleared his voice and began speaking Spanish and a dialect of Myan with a name I cannot remember. He introduced team 5 Alive one by one. We than taught them a song in Spanish we quickly learned this morning about God’s greatness and is accompanied with fun hand motions. Following the song we did a skit. And handed out snacks. And then I “preached.” This was last minute as we were not prepared to preach and had not been asked until this moment. I told them the simple version of the starfish story and ended by telling them God wants greatness for each of them and it is available to them just as they are, there is nothing they have to do but ask and be willing. Following the message, Eleazer asked for people to come up who wanted healing for their ailments. Around ten woman and children came forward for prayer. It was amazing to call on the spirit for these people. We will see what God does in His power and might! WE also visited a woman’s home, where 4 other families live. She had given birth to twins 8 days ago, in addition to her 5 other children.
