Real Easter












This week we visited three rural elementrey schools and spent four hours in each teaching the real Easter story and coordinating fun activities related to Easter. It was awesome and all went well. It was great to see kids and parents get a better grasp of all that Jesus did for us on the cross. For the next couple of weeks we will be visiting schools in the rural area, coordinating Bible studies in town and in rural area and working on a small irrigation project for around June. Please be praying for wisdom, protection and fertile ground for the Gospel to grow in.

Guess who showed up?!?



God blessed us on tuesday (15th). Telma was getting dirty clothing out of the laundry basket when all of a sudden she saw a scorpion in the middle of the clothing! If she had been bit it would of been a painful experience similar to childberth with no anestetic! Not to mention how dangerous it is for the little ones. We all got together after the scare and thanked God for His protection!!!

This month we had carnival holiday which means that nothing works for 10 days. We made visits to friends we have made in the rural areas we have visited and worked on material for the next series of Bible lessons for the kids in the rural schools we will be visiting.

The theme for the next series of classes has to do with Easter. We want every child to understand that Easter has nothing to do with easter chocalate eggs or a bunny that lays them?!? Any ways the material is ready and we are set to go.
It has rained a lot here these past days and the dirt roads have become strips of mud. We had to cancel 2 events this week because of mudslides on the roads. Next week we have 3 events scheduled so we are praying for no mudslides on roads. Thanks for your prayers!!!
