"The Circus is town." This is what Mark said when we first entered Obrahuelo with our large green van and giant moving van full of supplies and food. Little did I know what truth that would hold.
I watched the kids in the small town look at us with curious eyes and interested faces. Even though there had been two other trips from the United States, we are still so much different than what they are used to. Plus, we bring balls and parachutes for them to play with. Sometimes we even take pictures of them and let them watch short videos of landscapes on our phones. Since they don't have televisions, that is pretty amazing for them!
So when we started inviting the jovenes (youth) to English Classes, we should have expected lots of kids. What we didn't expect was around 60 people from ages 5-70.
Talk about a full church!
Everyday Marie and I planned activities to teach them simple English words, such as family, colors, food, animals, and greetings. It was an adventure every day, and we don't know exactly what they walked away with, but we pray that we at least planted a seed.
On the last day Cathy presented the gospel with an EvangiCube while Marta did a marvelous job translating. About 7 kids came forward to accept the gospel message. We pray that those decisions were honest and that there is follow-up. Praise the LORD!
