We have breakfast in our appartment. It is a bit of a rat race with 10 people in the kitchen but we managed. The enthusiasm of the group was noticeable. Today we are inviting our patients to a "Storying" session this evening at 7:00 p.m. The city has offered to open up the municipal building, located by the plaza, for our meeting.
The lines are longer than yestaday but we are now experts and have the Lord on our side. Our devotional dealt with the bar for Christians. Ultimately the bar is set by Jesus himself and his sacrifice. We are only his disciples.
Among my duties today was giving my testimony to some 80 people waiting in line for medical service. It was also an opportunity to invite them to tonights meeting. They were all very attentive and even got some clapping. It is getting easier for me to talk to these people, on their own level. They understand that we come in the name of God and come to distribute His love among them. The medical treatment is just part of why we are here.
We have sought out several of contacts made by previous groups and find most of them no longer live in Conima. This was a bit discouraging at first until we realized we had a crowd of 15 invitees at our meeting. That went very well and several of them indicated a willingness to have us meet with them in their homes for further discussions.
Tonight we all went to bed with new encouragement and new visions for our role in Conima.
