Today was an amazing day. We traveled to the village of Los Jutes to house call. The first house we went to held a family consisting of an older couple and a son in his 20's. His name was Gustavo and we shared Bible verses with him. I shared Jeremiah 29:11-13 via Alberto our translator because he had previously been a church member and he had been baptized, but he hasn't attended church in three years. I explained to him that Christ has a plan for him, that when we pray God listens, and when we seek him we will find him. I encouraged him to go to church because it is a great place to find encouragement and help. We then prayed with him. After our team prayed for him I stayed behind and wrote my name in a Bible. I then on my own in Spanish told him that it was now his Bible, I said we are brothers in Christ, and I encouraged him to read his Bible a lot because it is full of hope. I told him I would pray for him and his family.
Este es una Biblia y ahora es tu. Este es mi nombre y oracionare por tu y tu familia. Somos hermanos en Christo. Lee mucho por que la Biblia da mucha esperanza. (sorry I can't do accents)
It was amazing to share in such a powerful way and its all thanks to the guiding of the spirit and the spirit's communication expertise. While we were there we invited him to the camp we're putting on that begins tomorrow and if he decides to come I'll be paying his way. I also shared with three men who aren't Christians. They asked for us to pray for the project to bring running water to the village. I told them after we prayed, "When we drink water we will be thirsty again, but Christ is living water and when we drink from him we will thirst no more. When we feel empty he can fill us up." Later in my daily devotion the source verse cam from John 4 and it was about living water.
After this we went to a school and played with the kids and taught lessons. It was a ton of fun and I always love seeing the joy in the kids faces. It's a great way to spend a day, I hope there are more days like today. I can't wait for the camp that starts tomorrow. I won't be able to post anything for two days or so. Please continue to pray for the works of God. A girl from the team staying at the mission was baptized tonight.
