Our Sunday began with a good word from the Word by Pastor Eddie Burdette. He spoke to us about being filled with the Holy Spirit. We then made our way to Rios de Agua Viva for their church service where Pastor Walter Aju preached about being a good soldier in the army of God. Juan Marcos served as the translator and, as always, we appreciate his help.
Deacons Tom Burris, Bret Hart, Donald Pannell, & Jerry Potter of Faith Baptist Church in Bartlett, TN presented a beautiful banner to Pastor Walter and the deacons of Rios de Agua Viva. It simply had the name “JESUS” on it and was made by the members of the banner ministry at Faith. The church was very appreciative of the gift.
Lunch at Las Antorchas, shopping, and an evening of fellowship rounded out our Sunday. This morning we will have a time in the Word with Pastor Terry Rainey and then it will be building, cement work, and BBC.
This evening we will host a 15th birthday party for Daysee Aju, daughter of Pastor Walter & Balvina Aju. Her birthday was in April but she did not get to have the traditional 15th birthday party. Lisa, Deidra, and Lisa Vargas have been a huge help in planning & preparing for this party. I appreciate their help.
Pray for us. We need to have a strong day on the construction side today. The team is doing great and the attitudes have been superb thus far. Eddie Burdette has corrupted some of the children in the village by teaching them Clemson cheers but perhaps we can overcome that error! Terry Rainey’s van definitely has a nose for the restaurants!
