From the 10th to the 17th the celebrations for the Virgin of the Stone (patron idol of the town we live in) will be happening. The festivities are the biggest event in this town and attracts as many as 10000 people from all around this area. There will be daily masses, many street vendors and wild music concerts that go till 4 in the morning every day. Of course drugs, alcohol and promiscuity are also one of the main ingredients of this idolatrous celebration. This event has been going on since the late 17 hundreds after the statue was claimed to have been found in a cave close to town.
The Virgin of the Stone has been a stumbling block for many to give there lives over to Jesus as the tradition goes back a far way in the lives of all from this area.
We will be receiving a group of 15 YWAM part time missionaries who will be doing street evangelism during these days.
Please pray that many will be set free from the bondage of sin that enslaves them!
Your prayers are as important as us going out to share the Good News!
