June 23


June 23, 2012
Today is our last ministry day with Pastor Victor, his wife Leti, their volunteers, and all of the children at Trigo y Miel. All of our team had the opportunity to share their testimonies this week and today was no exception.  We shared tears of joy and laughter in fellowship today and if we do not see these folks again we will surely see them in heaven.
* Pastor Victor and Leti will be in Portland in November at a forward Edge banquet and we are trying to get them to our church on Sunday!
 It was a fun Saturday party day with lots of good food, crafts for the kids, games and did I mention good food.  It was also the day when Pastor Ben had the privilege to share the Gospel with all the little children while Pastor Thom was able to speak to the older boys.  Because of the thunderstorms we have been experiencing each day, a bridge in the area was in peril of washing out.  This meant that the day would have to be rearranged so that we could get in the Gospel and the party early before the worst hit us (all of these children walk and they travel up to two miles to get to the center).  Afterward we had just enough time for pictures, exchanging gifts with our hosts, hugs and prayers before the storm came
However, this conveniently allowed for an early day which was needed for some to pack, get ready for church tomorrow, and rest for our return home.  We have really missed our churches and families and are praying for the services at Barton Community Baptist Church and at Estacada Assembly of God.  Have a blessed Sunday morning and remember us in your prayers as well.
