Well, we have officially crossed the globe! Yes, in 8 months we have completely circled the entire earth! We have been to 3 continents and 12 countries (and 4 of those countries we have been in or through in the last 72 hours)! I never thought that would happen.
We left the Philippines and had a couple of days in LA (which was amazing- I will blog about that later) we flew to Miami and then to Nicaragua. Right now we are in Granada just for the day and tomorrow we have 13-18 hour busride to the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua.
We are exhausted and completely jetlagged from all the travel and 12 hour time difference but we have received an amazingly warm welcome from the people here. We arrived in Granada last night and the church, where we are staying and partnering with, fed us a meal and we had worship time. Such a precious way to begin our time in this new country! We slept hard and well on the floor and today we are getting briefed on the culture in Nicaragua and packing up again.
Tomorrow 18 of us will be heading to the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua and the other 7 will be here in the city, helping get an AIM base started in the city.
Please PRAY – we really hope to have opportunities for evangelism as well as hurricane relief work here. This country is saturated in a works based faith and it can be very difficult to share because people’s hearts are hardened. But, we know that the Holy Spirit can break through any hardened heart and reveal to that person their sin and need for a Savior. We are excited and can’t wait to see and serve Jesus in this beautiful country.
…”Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
by the way – I am well healed and my skin issues that I blogged about previously have almost completely dissipated! Praise the Lord.
