Hey everyone!
We did the church service this morning, and it was pretty cool. The church was tiny, and there were only about 30 people. But when you typically see so many people, it is nice to have a day when you can look into the eyes of all the people you are ministering to. They were very accepting and loving, and are devoted to God.
We’re getting ready to leave for the night service- Dallas and I will be doing music again tonight. Tomorrow we start the crusade- evangelism mostly, with leadership training for the pastors and women’s training for the pastors’ wives. We’re looking forward to the week! We’ll be in Honduras until Saturday, it sounds like, and then back to Nicaragua for the team of 28. I think Arlene heads back to the States on Saturday, too.
By the way, two weeks ago Terry and Arlene stumbled across a little boy who had been abandoned by his mother and was found naked living and eating with the pigs. His name is Luis Manuel (Manuel for short) and he is now much healthier after getting real food and medication. They shaved his head to get rid of lice, and have him on an antibiotic and parasite medication. He is doing much better. They went to speak to the lady supposedly in charge of him to speak to him about making things legal for him to stay with them. He is a little behind developmentally and linguistically, and had been physically abused. Keep Terry and Arlene (the couple who runs Open Eyes Ministry, and with whom we are staying, and little Manuel in your prayers). By the way, we think he is about three or four. Pray for him, and that God would have his hand firmly on the life of this little child.
Love and BlessingsS & D
