Buenos Dias!
Today started out a little differently, some of the group stayed back because of sickness, while others headed off to the beach with some of our hosts. We just can’t get over how generous our hosts have been, driving us to and from the church, breakfast and lunches and dinners, and even to the beach! They truly have servants hearts!
Buenos tardes!
Kenny and August spoke on the “10 How-To’s of Discipleship” tonight while Pepper taught on “Multiplication.” It seems like the more we are focused and in accordance with one another, the more distractions are apparent. However, through the music blaring outside, dogs barking, and children getting sick, the Spirit was, as always, with us and the true Word was imparted into the hearts of many that were listening. It is so encouraging to see people learning the Bible! When you are watching someone’s face that is intently listening and taking in a new lesson you can almost see their lives transforming before your eyes. We hope that is the case for all that were in attendance during this conference, as we also hope that each of us on the team remains teachable, we all have a lot to learn.
Buenas Noches!
I leave you with something that brought most of all in attendance to tears. Since tonight was our last night holding the conference here in Cancun, some of the people in the congregation stayed after to say good-bye, but what we received was much more than a sweet “Adios”. Our team stood at the front of the sanctuary while the members stood and sat before us, if it wasn’t quiet outside (which it usually never was), I didn’t hear a peep outside those walls. One after another they stood up and thanked us for coming, that we had given them something they knew was important and desired to live out in their lives. One man, Hermano Jaime, even challenged us and the congregation by telling us to come back next year and ask them if they have been making disciples!!! They expressed their love for us, that they hope that God continues to bless us, and even a few children told us they hoped our journey was safe and expressed the importance it was to make disciples for Christ! Children!! It was so very lovely! And I don’t say it was lovely because they were telling us good things they appreciated about us, but because the Lord was being given the glory in everything and we were able to hear some testimonies about how the Lord had changed the hearts of some of those who heard His word! What a great blessing to know that if you allow God to use you as a vessel for His purpose, He is magnified and glorified!! Amen!
