TO GIVE LIGHT....


Amen and AMEN, The beginnings of a church in Barrio La Cruz (The Cross Neighborhood). After the work done in the last post, the rain came and came and came. We almost thought to cancel the movie planned for Saturday night. Bro Sabas showed up and Carlos, both with a can do attitude. Carlos said “We have a tent Barry what’s the problem?” We strung wires across the street to our generator in our house to run the lights, projector and speakers. Then, drove around in the pouring rain to announce a free movie under the tent. 55 people showed up under the 20’x20’ tent. Water was 3 inches deep inside the tent, hot and mosquitoes everywhere. One of the last ones to enter was a drunk man who sleeps on our doorstep. After the movie both me and Bro Sabas preached. I think if he had not preached he would have popped. He is already well into the Bible Institute and needed to let some out. The next morning 34 returned for morning services. A total of 18 prayed for Christ to save them, even Bro Carlos’ little girl Cindy. Carlos could hardly contain himself. In the Morning service a slightly drunk man brought his 7 year old daughter to church. Many times during the service he would call loudly “Help me, Save me from this darkness!”. Bro Sabas would repeat keep coming and listening and we will. With your continues prayers and support, we will continue to freely give out the water of life. Thank You.
