Chris in San Vicente Ferrer, Mon 11 July AM
Sat, as we walked around San Vicente (to deliver something the Lord laid on my heart to a family), this other family we barely know from la Iglesia Nazareno invited us to dinner at their house...
Well, their house is a 12x12 room, a wood cooking shed and one water spicket outside the house! Of course we accepted (it's a dishonor to decine), and what a glorious time of fellowship! The husband, Francisco was gloriously saved from drug addiction a few years ago... we had a Holy Ghost meeting over hand-made tortilla and birria de res around a scrap-wood table!
I was humbled at how massively grateful he and his wife Floridina are to God for all His goodness, regardless of their struggles and having to work as tomatoe-pickers 6 days a week in the fields. The older daughter is working in the fields to make extra money to go on a missions trip with la Iglesia Nazareno in two weeks... imagine that!
Last night, my Kingdom gratitude was deepened for the amazing Grace and Mercy of God reaching into the Darkness of lives and pulling them out into Light, the Glorious light of Jesus!!
God is SOOOO good!!! The JOY of being 'in mission' with the Lord is getting to see what His Kingdom really means, outside the box of the Western context!
Gotta go, something else to do in the Village today..
your bro, Chris
