"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law." Rom 13:8
THE PLACES
The team hit two places, one that was not in the plan but was in God's plan. The Lord used the weather to guide us to where He wanted us to go. Guabal was the headquarters where the team came to rest before hiking to the second village. We had sun, flood, river crossing, boat, you name it, but we were blessed. The team was conformed of 5 north eagles, 5 pana eagles, and about 20 Ngobe. Thank you for praying, as slowly God allows the returning to "normality", we appreciate His care for the field and His servants.
EVANGELISM
Hut to hut was done in Dayra 2 and Tula. Due to the rain, the team was able to visit homes in Guabal, which was a treat for it was not the original plan. Due to the short time the team had, a total of 12 homes were visited, spending time to share and try to develop a relationship with the villagers. The Ngobe leaders and guides were enthusiastic and eager to serve.
DISCIPLESHIP
Every morning getting together to read through the book of acts under the guidance of Pastor Keith was such a blessing for the local leadership. So much historical information hidden behind words, sentences, and stories that each team member was enriched in such a way that we kept sharing about it even after the time was up in order to go for breakfast.
WOMEN TIME: While the team was in Dayra 2, Cinthia and I stayed at Guabal to have some "Grace" time with the women of the church and guests. A total of 16 women attended the teaching on Grace, so appropriate to the Passover Season where we make remembrance of God's love manifested at the Cross, extending us His grace of forgiveness and reconciliation with Him, in Christ Jesus.
