Day 5

Our week of work is finished. Tonight as I write this I am reflecting back over the week. We have made friends with a group of Christian people who a few weeks ago we never knew we would meet, let alone come to love. They are a people who love God and is very thankful for what has happened here this week. First is the construction of a new church, which has been supported by so many back home. Secondly, is the furthering of God's kingdom through relationships. There is the relationship we have built as a team and with the people here, and there is a cooperative relationship which has been established between the local pastors and their congregations. This has happened through His leading in the construction, the Bible School with the children, and the three nights of the street revival.
They have told us the progress on the church is ahead of their expectations. This, of course, makes us happy. The last night of the street revival found many people who came forward to pray with one of the seven Pastors. We know that one of the young men working with us has accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior this week.
It has been a great week. With our sore muscles and blistered hands we begin our journey home tomorrow. We have felt and experienced your prayers. Please keep praying for the team, an for our new fiends in La Trinidad. We will be home on Saturday, and look forward to sharing our stories, experiences, and pictures with you. God bless you.
