So today is our actually first day in the village sharing the gospel. We are going to Villa Nueva, specifically a squatter village called Nazareth. Adam, Daniel, and I will be working at the Escuela de Valle de Nazareth (School of the Valley of Nazareth) with about 360 kids. I hear a statistic done by the army here that out of thte over 21, 000 kids in this small area, the schools are only able to hand about 6,000 of those. However, those figures are somewhat out dated and the game is actually larger now.
Yesterday, after the morning at service at Ciudad De Refugo - Iglesia Cristiana Comuntiaries where Daniel shared his testimony and Brother John preached, we went and had a little Pollo Campero for lunch before going to the village. We had the chance the pray over the area we will be working and got to get to know some of the church members working with. Pray that God continues to work through the ministries here and that there church will continues to strive for unity and purity for the glory of God. As we were walking, our translator Julio pointed off in the distance to large factories that were the sweat shops were many of the men, women, and children of the community we are at will spent their days (and many, their lives). Please pray for hope for these people. Pray that as they learn of the eternal life found in Christ, the Lord, through his church, will provide more of an abundance of life here of earth for all his children.
May The Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
