Outreach

Today was an awesome day. We started out by not being able to get the container yet and later found out that we were not going to get the container until Tuesday. Since we didn't get the container we decided to do a outreach to the community with Pastor Rigoberto from one of the churches we are assisting. We put together approximately 75 bags containing rice, beans, salt and sugar. After putting the bags together we went to Pastor Rigoberto church and met him and members of his congregation which included quite a few children. This was a perfect opportunity to reach the children through balloons. Vince and John West were making swords and dogs out of the ballons which brought an immediate smile to the children. After the balloons we started to walk with pastor through the neighborhood and go from door to door knocking and presenting each household with an outreach bag. We got looks of unbelief to looks of amazement. This lead to several opportunities for us to witness to people and lead them to Christ. There were powerful stories to each person that the love of Christ was shared with. There were many tears shed after the gospel was presented especially the young people. We witness children following us all over the neighborhood and praising Jesus. More to follow..........................

Good Morning my brothers. I'm praying for you as I follow your success from this end. Thanks for the blog as it allows us who wish we were there with you to at least get a taste of the victories. Continue to "flesh out" our name "Brothers Immitating Christ" on this annointed mission to Panama as you represent the love of our Lord to all you meet there in a very tangible way. I love you all...papimario
