OEFC - DAY 5

Hola!! This morning we ministered in Hunucma assisting Pastor Ricardo paint his church and move bricks to help the workers build a wall. Ricardo is a church planter who has been building his church and congregation for the past few years now.  Although it was really hot, we were able to get the painting finished before we had to go and it turned out to be a lot of fun!

Following lunch, swim, siesta, and supper we headed to the community of Uman where we met with Pastor Josue and did our program for the local children there. We have done the same program multiple times this week for different churches. When doing our program we start with playing games with the kids. Then we sing a choreographed song, preform a drama and puppet show, chalk art, memory verse and magic trick that explains the story of Abraham and Isaac and the Greatest commandment (Mark 12:30), We then did a craft. 

 Every time we do the program we find it’s so inspiring and meaningful to see how happy the kids are by the fact that we’re not only there running the program but being their friends. Even though we’re only there for a little bit we’re making an impression. It’s so amazing that we can plant seeds and help water and grow the seeds of Christ in the children’s hearts and equally the adults. 

Overall it has been a really impactful experience being able to get out of our comfort zones and share Jesus. We really appreciate all your (the church's) support for this mission's trip. We couldn’t be here without you! Thank you for praying for good health, safety and that God would constantly be working in and through us for the remainder of this trip. Adios Amigos!
