Missionaries David and Pam W. are praising Jesus for a recent team from Fleming Baptist Church, Augusta, Georgia, that came to work with them and a Mexican Baptist Church, Iglesia Filadelfia.
Winston and Cheryl Collins, of FBC, put together a team that truly had servants' hearts. When the Collins' had to return home for health reasons, this did not deter the vision of the team. They regrouped and continued without grumbling to finish the task.
David and Pam say it best,"This group of six rose to the occasion and bent beyond being flexible this week. We commend them for staying to continue with the project. They did a great job distributing Gospels, working at a homeless shelter down town, and cleaning up a park. The team adapted well to changes and did anything extra we asked of them. Each team member was sensitive to the needs of others and demonstrated the love of Christ through both their words and actions. I know Winston and Cheryl, and their church family, are very proud of this team."
"Sunday's service was very exciting with incredible music and words of encouragement by the pastors. After worship, we ate a nice meal and got ready for the 'Prayerwalk.' We think this is where the tone was set for the week. This was the most exciting Prayerwalk we have ever taken part. It was not an ordinary Prayerwalk because it was a Prayer March! We paraded down the streets of La Cebada holding a Mexican Flag up front with two pastors playing their guitars. Tambourines were banging, people were singing and praying…right thru the Tiangis! It was an experience we will never forget," states David.
One afternoon, the team assisted churches in cleaning the park. "This was a great way to show the families of Barrio 18 love in action. Numerous bands, drama teams, dancers and rappers all shared the Good News of Jesus Christ. During the invitation, many people came forward for prayer," exclaimed David.
It is such a blessing when a team comes to serve alongside missionaries and national pastors in an effort to reach this area of the world with the Gospel. They distributed over 7,000 packets in just one week, and there are now at least 17 new brothers and sisters in Christ!
