The fact that we get to invite everyone in the colonia to come for the food that God provides every month is truly Favor, flowing from the heart of God to meet the needs of the poor. Six years of provision to buy the food, oil, sugar, soup mix, beans and rice to meet the needs every month is a miracle. God told us years ago to listen and obey to the instructions He would give us and the windows of heaven would be open. The peopled that gathered yesterday witnessed 8 miracles when 7 men and one woman gave their hearts and their lives to Jesus Christ. It's not about the food or the clothes we give or about all the houses we build, but it's about being able to present the gospel to some people that are spiritually dead. 150 families came for food that will run out, but 8 people walked away with the Bread of Life (Jesus) that will never run out!
The people loved the roof we installed over the entire area where the people sit, shade for everyone. David , Luzma, and two of their kids came and led us in worship and Pastor Jose preached to the adults and Pastor Victor and Jessa took all the kids to His Church to share with them. Another great day. We had a few beds in the warehouse and Johnny told us about a family of five sleeping on one bed and the floor, so we took them two new double beds and their smiles were seen from a distance when they saw the beds coming down the road.
Carmelo and the boys finished one foundation last week in the blazing heat. They installed a sun shade tarp over the foundation so the concrete would not dry so fast. They should have thought about that while we were building the foundation three days ago! Another missionary has a group this week that will build the house. We had money from a donor that gave enough for a house and they have a team with no money to build a house, so thank you Lord for the connection.
