Picnic at Lighthouse Baptist Church |
|
Today was a fun and exciting day at
Lighthouse Baptist Church. We had a church wide picnic at one of
the big parks in Lince, and had a really good time. The purpose of
the picnic was to get to know some of the people that came during
our evangelistic services during the week of Easter.
We wasn't really sure how many people to
expect or how the day was going to go, but everything went well. We
had 60 people come, and we cooked hotdogs, played games, and spent
time talking with some of the people we didn't know very well. It
is amazing how much fun you can have without going to a big
amusement park like we are acustomed to doing in the United States,
but with a little creativity you can have a great time. It is
really exciting to see a group of people be knit together, like God
is doing in Lince. We have people that are coming and helping clean
the church, people leading the music, and several that are involve
in some level of discipleship. Tomorrow will be our last services
in the current facility we have and we will be moving the church a
block down the road to a larger facility. It is really exciting to
see everything that is going on even though there are rough days
many weeks. Yesterday, across the street from the church a lady was
kidnapped and held for ransom, but thank God we have the
opportunity to work in an area that needs a church to shine the
light of Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for all that is
going on, that God will lead and guide and help these people do all
they can to make Jesus Christ known among the nations. |
