Our Colombia Mission Trip: Part 2

Through the exhaustion of the week, the Lord continually gave us joy and strength through serving and sharing the Gospel a dozen times a day.  On Tuesday, our team did something a little different.  There was a painter on the E3 team who came to our village and started painting a beautiful picture of the crucifixion to try to draw a crowd.


 At first, there was hardly anyone there.  About 10 minutes later, there were people everywhere.



We immediately started talking to the people that were there and sharing the Gospel with them.  After being there over an hour, I think I shared the Gospel with different groups of people at least 10 times. There were a lot of kids there as well because of course children are very curious.  I got some great pictures of Justin sharing with some boys:



One thing I loved was after going through the evangacube with some of the children, and teaching them the Gospel, we had little cards to hand out to them that were just like the cube so they could share the Gospel with someone else.  They absolutely loved this and were begging us for the cards so they could share them.  We had a limited supplies, so I would tell the children that they had to really know what it meant and share it with me first before I would give them a card.  I was so impressed with how attentive they all were and could share the Gospel so well!  After they repeated it all back to me, they would immediately go to another child and share it with them.  Though only God knows what is going on in these children's hearts, seeds were definitely being planted!



It was a really great day and we rejoiced over all the people young and old who heard the Gospel that day....many for the very first time.  God is definitely at work and it was only day 2....
