Week 7 -- Another Indiana Group

After our week off, we started up again with a small group of 10 or so. It was an interesting group for lack of a better word, but I'll just hit the high points :-) And by that I mean I'll stay on a positive note...







We had a revival, so to speak, in the village of La Mesa. We were there for 3 nights having children's services (which are basically VBS), dinner cooked by the pastor(a), and then adult services. Naturally, we had to go around inviting and ministering to the people first.



This is Kerri Jo, from the group, and some of the staff. The lady who lived here invited us into her home and asked for us to pray for her and her husband before we left.




The pastor's daughter-in-law and I cutting up the food to cook for dinner.


Totally normal-sized door frame :-) I grew while I was in Mexico!!! Come on!!


The children were beautiful. We played lots of games with them.



The services were held outside the church building, so everyone in the streets could hear the good news being preached.




And the DMT students prepared a musical drama for the onlookers. Their black capes are representative of sin (that so easily ensnares us). They try to fight the protagonist back and keep her from reaching Jesus... but of course, they are without success. Jesus defeats sin and lifts up the hurting girl.




Mmm, I rolled out floor balls to make some tortillas!



This is the dinner we had that night... it's pretty typical: rice, cactus, cheese, beans, potatoes & eggs. Marcus and Vero are certainly enjoying it :-)


The highlight of my week!

The little boy on the right is one of two who accepted Christ after hearing the message being preached the second night. The joy on his face was evident as I watched him answer question after question about understanding sin, who Jesus is, and what it means to accept Him. Both boys got a new Bible the next day, and I also gave one to this little girl who told me she had become a Christian in October of last year and didn't own one.
