A day in the neighborhood and with the kids!

Today we got to spend our day on the prayer walk and with the kid’s ministry. This is always a fun day and one I look forward to. 

It was nice to see the kids at the San Juan school so excited to see us again. Or should I say, they were excited to see the kids that were on our team. This year we took some middle and high school kids with us and they were able to make a connection with the kids there. It was great to see them interact together. They didn’t need to speak Spanish, they spoke “kid” language! One that I have outgrown and am not fluent in anymore.

We had a praise and worship time in the school and the kids all came together to sing then had our lesson and craft. That is always fun. We even had time to play our relay game that we did in LaCampa. Once we were done, we all went outside to get ready to go home and the kids didn’t want to go home. They hung around for a long time just to be with us and fellowship. Even the horses wanted to be around us all! Not sure where they came from, but, tada!  there they were. 

Once we got done and everything cleaned up, we went for our prayer walk through the neighborhood. We broke into groups like last year and went knocking on doors. Lucy and I were able to minister to a lady named Maria. She was unable to come to the clinic the day before and we were able to pray for her. We also met Alejandra. She runs the little puperia in the neighborhood. We talked and prayed for her too. We tried to buy a coke from her, but she would have none of it. She gave us this gift and we graciously accepted. And even though I despise pepsi, I drank it because it was hot, I was thirsty, but most of all, she gave it to me as a gift. 

Then we met Jose and his little sister. He spoke English! He said he is in college in Tegucigalpa and graduates in 2020. He is studying to be a chef! How great is that.

The end of the day I found this quote and how true this is every day. 

“In every encounter we either give life or we drain it; there is no neutral exchange.”

What do you do?

Romans 10: 10-13

“For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the scripture says, anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame. For there is no difference between Jews or Gentile, the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Amen y Amen

Bendiciones,

Alejandra
