Day 5: More Confession of Faith made in both Hocaba and Tabi

Dear Parents and Friends
We got to complete the basketball court at Tabi today. Lots of cement mixing today. We started the morning with visiting the community in Tabi. By the way, there were at least two confession of faith made in Tabi yesterday. Mr Salvatelli, Laura Foreman, Jenn Schmidt, Ryan and Camilla got to witness to a 19 year old gal who lives in Tabi all her life. Laura shared her testimony and David translated and also shared in the preaching of the gospel. Maria put her faith in Christ after our short 20 minutes of sharing. What a glorious day, for the students to see the work of the Holy Spirit in action.

Dan T., Jessica M., Grace and Raisa met an alcoholic and was so burdened for his salvation that they ran back to get help in presenting the gospel to Jose. Aaron Mills, Mr Alvarez and myself were blessed to be able to lead Jose to Christ. Jose struggled with drinking for a long time and really wanted to get out of his cycle of alcohol abuse. Whilst talking to him, we found out that he really considered himself unworthy before God because of his alcohol abuse. We explained to him why that is not the case, because Christ died for unworthy sinners like us all, and loved us before we know of Him..... One water, one sow, one harvest..... what an awesome God we serve.

In Hocaba, our teams have also divine appointments besides their laborious hard day of finishing up the foundation at the water filtration site. The foundation has to be laid with rocks, sand and gravel before they could do the flooring of it. Mrs Klipfel, Mr Matthews and the bus driver chance upon the neighbor's home next to our work site. They went in to visit and it ended up to be a divine appointment for the 3 young mason workers. They gave their life to the LORD and fell to their knees. Last but not least, the bus driver, Antonio gave his life to the LORD too.. What a Faithful Father we have to teach us his heart for the LOST.

Pastor Chet, the 10th Gr. Visionary Team and Mr Lofthouse also visited both Tabi and Hocaba today, praying and planning for the trip that would take place next year.

More updates to follow. Please pray for our work day in Merida for the next weekend. Thanks.
