Yesterday we had our last full day in Valencia. Even though we were tired we were full of expectation for what God was going to do. Early in the morning we headed to the missionary house to prepare for a day of service at public schools at el Cambur. We went into the schools and taught in every classroom about God´s love. While the team was teaching, we went to talk with the school principal and she gave her life to Christ. This is big since now the doors will continue to be open for teaching the Bible every week at that school.
We then headed to the south side of the city to go visit neighboors of a mission there. The people there were very welcoming and opened their humble homes. Some prayed of the sick, others gave a word of encouragement to brothers and sisters, and some shared the gospel with homes that would let us. Our team got to share with a woman that was ready to surrenedered her life to Christ. The sister that took us there told us that they had been praying for her.
We headed back to our homes and then we were taken to a surprise good bye party. It was awesome. There were more than a 100 people there. Everyone was very sweet and loving. They showered us with gifts and made each and every one of us get up on a table to say a few words. It was very meaningful to hear our students share how they have been impacted by God during this trip.
This morning we are all packing and getting ready to head to Caracas for the evenening and then board our plane home early in the monring. Please pray for a safe trip and for alertness as we need to be on top of things every time we travel. Pray for me so that I will be able to lead the team back home. Thanks for all your prayers. We will be posting more and more stories and pictures as we process them. In the mean time, here is a video of team members serving during Sunday worship at the church:
Please pardon the mistakes on some of our blogs. Time is precious on line so we don´t take time to double check for grammar and spelling. I know you get our drift.
