Our OneLife team has been in Spain for almost two weeks now. Each time we come to support the church here, we experience something new. The needs are different and the answers to our prayers as well. During these first two weeks here, we have been able to witness some huge answers to our prayers!
Several members of our OneLife team just returned from a short-term mission trip to El Salvador. It was a great trip in many respects. However, there was a particular moment that I wanted to especially share with you all.
Our ministry received an invitation from Pastors Raul and Julissa Gutierrez of theChurch "El Alfarero" in LA, California. They invited us to participate in a young adults retreat that they were doing at the end of October.
From August 17th-21st we served with Evangelist Dale Everett at a crusade in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The Mexican leaders reported that 1700 people repented and turned to Jesus.
t the beginning of July, we went to visit a church in northeast Arkansas. While there, we were able to help out with different projects around the church facilities; participate in their worship, preaching and children’s ministry; and enjoy delicious meals over great conversation with the church members. The pastors and their team hosted us so graciously! And It was awesome to have God pour back into our lives through these things also! And we are very grateful for their friendship.
In late July we celebrated the 50-year anniversary of “La Gran Comisión” in our annual convention. What an amazing time! We had in attendance an estimated 3,000 people.
Dust kicking up behind us...The rattle of the vehicle over every bump...What would have felt like a long trip flew by as we listened to the stories told by the president of the Mexican pastors' association. We drove for what seemed like endless miles, passing town after town. Each time you reached a new town it seemed to be the end of the long bumpy road. But every time there was a turn or curve, and a little path appeared taking you onward to the next town.
God is on the move in Costa Rica! In mid-June we were honored to play a roll in the birth of a new FGEA association of churches.
Jesus’ work in hearts is perfect! No matter where you are from, He is able to speak directly to you. Culture is not a boundary for Him.
