Today was a very interesting day at Ciudad de Dios. As we were getting ready to play volley ball, we realized that it would be impossible because of the number of girls who wanted to play. We formed 2 teams of girls (6-7 years old) and played ball with them. We took the girls to VBS because we had too many. Tera and Julia had them engaged in stories and coloring. Julia was also teaching them songs and English 101.
At 5pm, I was blessed with the opportunity to present the Salvation message to the adults. I felt pretty confident until I saw the numbers of women growing in the room. Julia translated the message very well. We asked questions and they answered with knowledge. Majority of the women prayed and received Jesus Christ as their Savior. At the end, Doris request for us to pray for her. Doris had a stroke 2 years ago and is paralyzed on her left side. Daniel prayed for her. It was very neat to see all members of the group layed their hands on her. I believe that Doris was blessed by our presence. God is good.
It was truly a pleasure for me to be at Ciudado de Dios. The community showed us love. Some of us got cooked meal from the school teachers. One of the ladies expressed that her daughter and her were happy that I visited them. They enjoyed my interacting with the children and as a result, she wanted to give me a present (necklace and earrings). This was awesome.
I am very happy that I am apart the Peru Missions Team.
God Bless!!!!
