Sorry the wifi was down for a couple of days. God is doing amazing things this week!!
Monday
We went to a very poor school. There were about 60 kids in the morning and 45 in the afternoon. Christina, Eric, Carolyn, and Audra spoke about being a teenager in the US and they shared their testimony as well as a challenge for the kids. We also performed a melodrama about the good Samaritan. Then Carolyn, Audra, and Christian showed off their Spanish speaking skills by participating in a game show skit hosted by Marco. Each contestant brings something that they think will make them happy in life and then they are given the choice to trade it in for a gift from Gid. The first two take a chance with what they have and miss out on one of God's promises. The third trades his in and receives eternal life. We used this skit to lead into the Gospel message and an invitation. There were about 17 children who accepted Christ as their Savior!!!!!
Tuesday
We travelled about 40 minutes to a large private Catholic school. We began by playing some hilarious relay games. Then Katelyn and Lexi spoke to the kids and we performed the two skits again. Our kids have done a great job doing them in Spanish...which is not easy when you don't speak the language! Today we split the students up into 6 groups and our kids used the EvangeCube to share the Gospel. Each group had multiple students who really seemed to understand the message and made the decision to accept God's gift of Salvation. It once again was amazing to see God changing lives through the witness of our teens!
As a surprise, in the afternoon Fanny and Marco took us to a nearby beach. It was exciting for our group as it was the first time most of them had been in the pacific ocean.
Please continue to pray for us as we travel to more schools in the coming days!!
