And the week and the work go on!
Mexico - High School 2009 March 26th, 2009 by RudyHola to all~
It hard to explain all that has happened here in the past 48 hours, but we will try . On Tuesday evening we met at K57 where the new church has just been completed. The group in Victoria and K39 had a “stay at home” night with their families. The rest of the team sang a few songs and then showed the movie “Fireproof”. It was in Spanish with English subtitles so everyone could appreciate the message. Everyone loved the movie, folks were crying and even at the end one woman gave her life to the Lord. The pastors here think it is a great ministry tool and plan to use it again. They said it touches on all the problems in our world~ marital issues, drugs and alcohol, pornography, and relationships.
Early Wednesday morning a group left for the asparagus fields to share with the workers there and take them granola bars, juice and socks. Over 60 workers rallied around as the team sang and shared and Pastor Bibliano gave a short message. Fourteen people responded that they wanted to acceppt Christ. We are praising the Lord!!
In the afternoon the work continued ~ painting in all the towns, construction, VBS and a visit to another Rehabilitation Center. Wednesday night was the basketball game with the Pistones (we lost by 7 points) and our group sang and presented the “Everything” drama. The teens did an excellent job! Rudy closed with a gospel presenation.
This morning K39 and Oaxaca kids went to yet another asparagus field where several others gave their hearts to Christ. So far this week we have seen 23 people come to the Lord. It is such a joy to be able to witness the fruit of the labor here and the testimony that comes as we unite with the leadership here.
So now it is time for another meal. We then have VBS, another Rehab visit and then the service in K39 tonight where we will once again show the movie, “Fireproof.” Please continue to pray for the witness and testimony of Jesus here in the Mexicali Valley.
Everyone is well, happy and working hard. Such a blessing!!
Dios le bendiga,
Rudy and Gayle
