God at work...

This has been a packed and amazing week, full of experiences of God at work here in Mexico! The week started with a lot of yard work that I've been falling behind in as I'm trying to reclaim my back yard from the lush garden of weeds. Wednesday evening, however, I had the opportunity to share my testimony with a bunch of men at the AA Rehabilitation Center in Guaymas that I've been helping at with some of the people from the Spanish Church. After my testimony the guy from the Mexican church who usually leads the Bible Study spoke out of Revelation and the New Jerusalem and laid out salvation for the guys. At the end hey gave an altar call and probably about a dozen of the guys came up and responded! I don't know what part my testimony played into the response but it was awesome to see God and work and be a part of the experience.

Later on this week, Friday morning, as I was battling a bad head cold, I hooked up with some of the people in the Spanish church again who headed out to a city call Caborca, about 5 hours northwest from San Carlos where they help to lead some youth evangelistic services hosted by a church out there. The services were help outside in a plaza in Caborca and the group I went with lead the worship and did the speaking as well. We left at about 7:00am on Friday with the first service in the evening. They did a hour long radio program on Saturday afternoon with some music and sharing followed by one more service in the evening. The numbers were pretty low on the first evening but by the second evening, there was a good-sized crowd and once again God was at work out there as a number of people responded, becoming Christians on the second night! Needing to be back for church on Sunday morning, we cleaned up, grapped some supper and hit the road around 12:30am, Sunday morning that is. I didn't get to bed till about 6:30 and was up by 7:30 so you could say that I've been a little tired today.

Regardless, though, it has been exciting to be a part of what God is doing out here! He has given me so many neat opportunities to meet new people and see Him at work here in Mexico. Though I often can't actually be a part of things and often don't know what's actually going on or being said, the Christian fellowship with the people here overcomes language barriers and I have been incredibly blessed to be a part of these people's lives!
