In the Classroom
In the classrooms today, we got to be part of two presentations including music, a testimony, a sideshow from a Physiologist that shows how sin has an effect us on physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We then followed up with small group discussions on areas of sin that students struggle with, and how Christ is the solution. We ended each talk with singing the growingly popular "Este es mi deseo"
Surprise Event
A handful of us got to jump in on an English class, and basically host/teach it. It was fun to get to connect with students in a small context and get to serve them by helping them with their English.
Southern Hospitality
We had the privilege of eating at the Chaplain's house for dinner. He and his wife showed us true Southern hospitality (they are from Alabama and Mississippi respectively). We enjoyed a large meal, in the coolness of the late evening outside.. Scott caught the very vocal frog.
Gabriel
We all have thoroughly enjoyed time with a brother from the church that is helping us on the trip...Officially, he is our driver, but more than that, he is constantly taking the role of a servant. He grew up here in the Great Commission church in town, but had a time of rebellion, before coming back to Christ and rejoining the church. He is taking time away from his other 3 jobs to be with us all day during the week. All the women feel very safe with him around...We were told that has was previously in the army, and knows martial arts. We have enjoyed having him serve and keep us safe...and he has enjoyed growing in his English as we engage with him as our friend.
It sounds like you guys are having a very eventful time and that God is really already working through you guys down there. It is great getting to see pictures of you all!
