THE BLESSINGS JUST KEEP ON FLOWING

After we unloaded all the backpacks in the colonia, we spent the day preparing all the packpacks with the blessings the children were about to receive. All day saturday, Paula, Raul, Me and many of our friends from the colonia filled the backpacks with school supplies, gifts and toiletries. We also divided up several hundred pounds of beans, sugar and cooking oil into individual family packs. Before I picked up the team from Houston at the airport, Paula and the Sons of Salvation staff went to Mexico to decorate the two houses, while Beto and his wife Lucy along with Carmello and his wife Ruth cooked over 600 hot dogs on our grill in the colonia. When we arrived from the airport to the colonia we loaded up over 400 packpacks, 200 bags of food, 600 hundred hot dogs, bibles, tracts, and other gifts for the Pastors as well as the children. We gathered together and held hands as people prayed for Jesus to be glorified as we ministered to the needs of the people. By days end, we had services at three churches, dedicated 2 new houses for two precious families, served all the hot dogs and chips and reached out and prayed with several people that needed healing, financial burdens to be lifted, salvation for some, an unspoken need and for the blessings and power of God to fill these colonias where God has placed us for such a time as this. We even topped a great day off with a great meal of fajitas on the way back to the airport. Thanks to the team from Houston that made a difference in so many peoples lives today including Paula and me. It's easy to do do great things when Jesus directs your path.
