Today was an incredible ministry day and it also offered an unexpected, but much welcomed surprise! The morning consisted of canvassing a neighborhood and witnessing about Christ. There were several great testimonies. Early on we met two young girls who were interested in Christ, but still reluctant to accept Him. The first was named Emelce, and she looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. She came to the door holding a young girl close to about a year old that she said was her daughter. She expressed interest, but told us she had to go and talk with her mother about it first. Not long after we met a girl named Sabrina on the street. She told us she that she had never heard the Gospel message before, and you could tell she was really searching for something. But like Emelce, she had other things to attend to. The need in this country is so great, especially in the youth and adolescents of San Vicente. But they aren't the only ones in need. We also met a lady by the name of Nidia, who was very open and gracious. She told us that she had been divorced for about 20 years, and was living by herself here. She has been out of work for about two years now due to a lower-back injury, and was having trouble keeping up with the bills, and had no one to help her out. She was very lonely and empty, and we told her about Jesus and how He is able to fill that void in her life, and she prayed with us to accept Jesus into her heart! All these are only a sampling of what God was doing in the streets of San Vicente this morning.
At lunch time, we found out that we had an appointment with the mayor! Our entire group had the privilege of meeting the mayor of San Vicente. He was very excited. There are not many North Americans that choose to visit this fine town. He talked to us about the town and affirmed his belief in Christianity, and we were able to pray with him right there in his office! He also decided to help Pastor Robustiano with speeding up the paperwork for his new church and said he would announce it to the public! It was a huge blessing for the church. In the afternoon, we had a great time of ministry at a park. Many children loved the puppets and the great Bible message presented by Jenny! The kids were truly interested about what we were saying and many received information about receiving Jesus as Savior. Tonight at the service, Pastor Rubstiano preached a great message about returning to the Father's house. A great spiritual time of rededication and prayer followed. God continues to do great things.
