Yesterday, when one of the food hamper teams was coming back from their trip, they stopped to hand out some toys to a few children before heading back to Casa de Luz. We came across three girls and we gave them frisbees. All of a sudden there were several children running down the road to greet us. We wanted to bless the children with toys and we gave away as many gifts as we had but we didn’t have enough for everyone. This morning, some of the team loaded up one of the vans with Frisbees, bouncy balls, candy, coloring books and crayons and cars. They drove to the same area that the children were at yesterday, honked the horn, and saw MANY children run down the hill. We were able to bless all the children with gifts and also invited them to our city-wide outreach event today.
A few guys finished up the construction project, which is now at lockup stage.
This afternoon we hosted the City-wide outreach event with La Hermosa church. There were about five hundred people there. We fed people hamburgers and hotdogs, did face painting for the children, played games with the kids, had bouncy houses and a mechanical bull (which was a big hit) and participated in Canada vs Mexico hockey and soccer games. Pastor Daniel shared the gospel message and invited people to receive Christ and 18 people came forward to give their lives to Jesus. The Canadian team had the privilege of praying with these people and we gave them Spanish New Testaments. They also met people from La Hermosa Church so that they can get connected into a supportive and loving community that will help them in their new walk with Christ.
Tonight is our last night here so we are having a celebration at Casa de Luz tonight before we head to Door of Faith Orphanage to pack up and get ready to leave tomorrow. Thank you everyone for your prayers! We really appreciate it!
See you soon!
