Today we started food distribution ministry. We were able to pray over families. And had a special moment hearing the testimony of God answering our prayers a year ago. It was a God moment and we knew it was God showing us he always listens. 


Hoy comenzamos el ministerio de distribución de alimentos, pudimos orar por las familias. También tuvimos un momento especial escuchando el testimonio de Dios respondiendo a nuestras oraciones de hace un año. Fue un momento de Dios y sabíamos que era Dios mostrándonos que Él siempre escucha.

While some of us were out doing home visits, the men stayed to work on the septic tank that was having issues. In this way helping out Pastor Amado and future groups. It has been a hard and unpleasant job, even so we are joyful that we can serve in this way. 

Mientras algunos de nosotros estábamos haciendo visitas en casas, los hombres se quedaron en la iglesia arreglando el tanque séptico, que estaba con algunos problemas. De esta manera ayudan al Pastor Amado y los futuros grupos. Aunque el trabajo no es fácil ni placentero, estamos gozosos de poder ayudar en esta manera.
