What a great day of worship! We split into 4 groups and went to 4 churches this morning and then 4 more churches this evening.
Each of the four groups has a ‘preacher’, musician, testimony giver and some singers. They learned and practiced some songs in English and Spanish to share in the services. Everyone has done a great job. The churches are diverse and the groups are seeing a variety of worship styles and even building types for this country. The thing that every church has in common is that they are happy for us to share with them and we all love Jesus!
Our afternoon consisted of lunch, then some Fiesta training. Mike shared information about the Fiestas and the VOH staff demonstrated the Sinbox Sally drama. Afterwards, we got some volunteers to help put candy in little baggies. There was 2 big plastic tubs of candy. And some other volunteers put prizes together for the girls, boys and women that will receive them in the 12 Fiestas this week. Then I cleaned up all the mess and we are ready to rock and roll for the week! It feels good to have it all done on Sunday afternoon, so that we can have rest time during the week between meals and serving times.
It is so great to have Ric here with his team. I met him when I led teams to NYC in 2005 and 2006. Then I moved to NYC to take Ric’s place working with mission teams coming up to serve with the church plant there. Ric and his family moved to Louisiana and began serving at a church there. He brought a group up to work with us in NYC in 2008. The team this week is fun and it’s great to catch up with Ric. We have lots to talk about. ☺
We’ve had a good day with the team today and enjoyed getting to know them a little yesterday afternoon and evening. I know that the week is going to go really quickly. We have lots of ministry planned and it will be Fun Day and travel day before we know it.
I’m looking forward to seeing what all God is going to be doing this week. It’s so nice of Him to let us be a part of His plans. How blessed are we?!!
