What a blessed Sunday we have had! As we ascended the steps to the altar to the Senor de la Montanita, or God of the Mountain, we prayed for the Chichimeca tribe and for the inhabitants of San Luis de la Paz. When we reached the summit we looked out over the hills and saw the maze of adobe dwellings, as well as, all manner of houses and buildings made of cement blocks and things not ordinarily used to make a home from, but were never the less considered building materials. It was a humbling sight and cause for thankfulness to God for all that we have in our land of plenty. It also made us very aware of the task God had set before us. These people have built altars to a god that they do not worship and call him their god to please the religious community that has tried to teach them about our God, but in their hearts are worshiping a false god. As we stood before this altar we held hands and began to pray. As we prayed for God’s Spirit to fill us so that we may be used for His Glory, a breeze began to blow over us that was like feeling the “breath of God” blowing into our hearts and souls. It was an awesome experience.
Our day continued with a trip to the mission to unload supplies for the week and see how we would set up our clinic and VBS. Then, we went on to church at 11:30 and after a wonderful sermon by Pastor Omar from the McAllen church, we ate lunch and headed back to the mission to make preparations for the next day. We can hardly wait to see what God has in store for us. Continue to pray for us each day that we will be ready for all he has planned for us and that we will glorify Him in all that we do. God bless you all.
