HIS RESURRECTION POWER STILL MOVES HEARTS

HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY TO ALL!! Yesterday, we were eye witnesses to the Resurrection power of Jesus Christ as two people heard the voice of The Holy Spirit, as Carmelo shared the story from Luke 24. Celia and a man I had never seen before at the monthly food distribution, came forward as Carmelo finished His message with an invitation to experience the same power that raised Jesus from the dead over two thousand years ago. They bowed their heads and received the greatest gift in human history, ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST. One minuet they were held in darkness, and the next minuet, they experienced the LIGHT OF THE WORLD. There was applause on earth and in heaven at that special moment in time. Isaac and Carol Hoeppner from Manitoba, Canada joined us yesterday to help distribute food to over 170 households represented and counting children, there were about 300 people that came yesterday. Every family go the normal beans, rice and cooking oil, but we had a donation of bags of flour and canned goods, so the bags of food we gave were very heavy and full. The kids enjoyed their juice boxes as usual and David and Luz mar provided Easter celebration music. One family had a huge prayer need with one of their children in the hospital with a stomach infection. The people in the colonia responded to the need with their finances and started putting money in a box as an offering to the family to help them with the purchase of medicine for their sick child. How awesome is that!! Some people gave the food we gave them back to the family in need, because they had no money to give. After 5 years, they are starting to get it. A great morning ended with prayer for the sick and those unspoken requests hidden in the hearts of the people, but known to God. In the afternoon, several people from an adult Sunday School class at Calvary Baptist Church, came to bag up beans and rice for the food outreaches at our church that we supply all the beans and rice they need. I think we bagged up almost a ton of beans and 1000 lbs of rice. Many willing hands makes short work of the task of bagging up the food for the needy. Praise God for the help. Phil and Maryanne Chain are here as they prepare to head to Puebla Mexico next week to start filling the thousands of backpacks they brought for the children in Chaipas, Mx. Check out Mexico Missions.org. They are the directors of Mexico Missions and are generous enough to allow us to partner with them. Pray for them as they travel in their R.V. through Mexico, reaching out to the children in the mountains in Southern Mx. Adios
