The Body of Christ at Work

Thank you for all of your prayers. Today we had an amazing opportunity to see the body of Christ at work. This morning we went to a park in the main part of the city for praise and worship. Many of us have been praying that people would come up to us, and God provided people for us to talk to. While some were singing, others were able to have conversations with people in the park who were sitting on benches and those who walked up to see what all the singing was about. The Gospel went out many times in that park. God also perfectly orchestrated an opportunity for Kerry and Daphne to meet the “owner” of the park. God put other people in the path of all of us today that were really ready to hear the gospel (see other posts).

Dinner was another beautiful opportunity to see the the body at work. Three girls cooked dinner and had it ready when the rest of the group got there around 6:30. We were able to offer pasta, garlic bread, and salad to some of the people staying at the hostel. During dinner and after, we had the opportunity to talk to all of the people in the room. A few people were able to use their Spanish to share the gospel, while others were able to talk to other people from all over the world: New Zeland, Austria, Germany, Canada, etc. At one point, someone counted 10 conversations happening with different people. God used each person in the group. We were even able to bless the front desk worker by cleaning the kitchen afterward.

Please pray that the people we were able to meet today would join us for church in the morning and that we would be able to invite more people in the morning at breakfast. We will be attending a church called Lee Valley Bible Church.
