Catch Up

Well, it's been several days since I have been able to blog. We have been running fairly hard and have had some long days in the middle of the trip. Figured I'd take a few minutes to catch up a bit. 

Some of the sites we visited included the women's shelter, a children's adoption home, the city dump, cemetery, slums, and a community center. very diverse areas with diverse people groups. All very interesting to me.

Yesterday we met Pastor Shorty, the person of interest in the film Reparando. Shorty has an interesting past involving gangs, drugs, and such, and really has a heart for the people he ministers to. Last night we had a service in a little church that serves an area of approximately 1/2 mile wide x 1 mile long and is home to 60,000 people! The service was amazing, and the presence of the Lord was very strong. I got plastered during worship, the first time since we have been here hat that has happened. 

That's probably all for now. Very busy and getting a bit worn down. Stayed behind yesterday morning to rest and then went out with the team in the evening. Still have some congestion and sore throat.

Blessings, Steve
