We had our first outreach on Saturday. It was in a lady named Maggie's house. She is an elderly lady who opened her home so that we could serve the children of the community. We set up the PA system and we have been blessed with a student studying to become a radio announcer come and call out to the kids in the neighborhood to come join us. We ended up having about thirty kids from the neighborhood come and joined us. We gave out silly bands that were from the creation story, we had coloring books for them as well as a craft using paper plates to make masks. The were a big hit. After the crafts we sang "I've got peace like a river" to them in Spanish and taught the kids how to sing it. After wards we served them hot chocolate and sweet rolls baked by a local baker. We really had a blast sharing God's love with all of the little kids. Seeing the kids and the love that they have amidst the poverty that they live in is amazing and really touched our hearts. Even the older children stayed around and we played soccer with them. Our next youth outreach will be tomorrow afternoon.
Last night we were split up and went to two different church services. Nancy and Sarah were able to bless the church at Norma's house and they sang "Open the Eyes of My Heart" and Stephanie joined playing the base. Daniel gave a message and Sarah and Stephanie shared their testimonies. It was a big hit. The worship in the two churches was so powerful you could really feel the Holy Spirit moving in the fellowships. At the other church Tessa and Jimmy shared their testimonies and were able to bless their congregation as well.
Today we are at Norma's house putting a new roof on the worship center and staining her windows and doors. Tonight we have the couples fellowship and we are getting to celebrate Rene's birthday with the team. Please continue to pray for us for team unity and willingness to preach the gospel. We are so excited that we were given this opportunity to spread the gospel here in Argentina!!!
