End of Summer Brigade Season


Pictures from our last Brigade in August



















The summer brigade season finished up August 23rd. That week we were in one of our favorite areas to visit, Nueve Capital. It is one of the poorer areas in Teguz. In the pictures above you see the church we were at. It's a work in progress with 8 members. It's sister church, also in Nueve, was there to help out with the brigade where many were seen. One woman who came to my medical station, with her 5 year old and 10month old, mentioned that she gets nausea when she eats. When I asked her if certain foods caused it she told me that they have no food at home and they usually only eat every 3 days or so. What could we do but give her our lunch and pray that she would be receptive to Christ's love. We pray that WGO's presence there helped the church to grow.
Our second church of the week was in Comayagua where Ryan enjoyed one of the two days there doing Evangelism. He found this to be a very powerful experience noting that those who rejected the Gospel affected him very much. Of the rejections the most common reason seemed to be that the people felt unworthy of Christ sacrifice for them. If only they understood that this was His gift to us. We are all unworthy, that is why it is such a gift, we cannot earn his salvation. Ryan has kept these people in his prayers and hopefully the seed that was planted will grow.
