Happy New Year! We celebrated the New Year by watching a movie in the church we were staying with. All night long we heard fiesta music, fireworks, and an occasional gunshot. Very different than the states, but we enjoyed it. (Levi and Kelly at the orphange)
A week ago we worked on painting areas of an orphanage for a few days. We have been working with an awesome pastor and his family where they have bought a space in the downtown market. Every Wednesday and Sunday we will be preaching at the market.
On Saturday, we woke up extra early so Levi could share our testimony on a secular radio station. It was super cool and a lot of fun. A man from one of the many churches we have been working with has a 10 minute slot to share Christians inspired stories with the listeners.
The past couple of days we have been doing programs at various churches. We shared our testimony, Kelly preached on inner healing a few times, and we have been doing dramas and dances everywhere we go. It is a lot of work, but through all of this we are being stretched. We have learned more on the outreach phase than in the lecture phase because we are putting into practice all we have learned from classroom.
It has been a lot of fun building friendships with the people here in Cuernavaca. Almost everywhere we serve the people want to prepare a meal for us and open their homes. There is a saying here in Mexico, “Mi casa es tu casa.” It is so true! As we are blessing others, we are also being blessed. God is really taking care of our team this outreach.
Right now we are staying with a pastor and his family for a week and will be working with his church.
