What awesome things we have experienced these last two days. We were able to meet with a local pastor and church that ministers to the local community - a community that is approximately 2 square miles and is home to roughly 31,000 families. 31,000! Imagine that in Tulsa. Wow. Pastor Jorge met with us to talk about his ministry and the community they serve, and I was really drawn to the work they are doing. His motto - if you can reach one person, then you can reach one family, the you can change a community. His heart is so filled with compassion that you cannot help but to be amazed. His family is beautiful, and the volunteers and workers at the church tirelessly give of themselves and pour back into the community.
We did some dramas last night and then prayed for a bunch of people. It was raining hard the entire time, and at one point during our meeting with Pastor Jorge, the power went out, but he didn't seem phased by it at all and kept on talking. A short while later, the power came back on.
This morning, Sunday, was awesome as well. Pastor Linda spoke about the Father's love and then we prayed for more people, releasing more of His love and more fire!!! Mas Amor, mas fuego!!!
Tonight was even cooler. They held an outdoor meeting and we set up chairs for about 150 people. It started to rain, so we prayed and spoke to the heavens to hold up the rain until the meeting was over. The staff and volunteers even built us a small stage that attached to the raised sidewalk for us to perform our drama's. They were quick and efficient. Our bus sprung a fuel leak on the way, But the driver, Josh David, and Shane got it fixed and we got there on time.
After service we were treated to dinner at Pastor Jorge's home, where his wife and other prepared us a very good chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and carrots. The chickens had just been slaughtered 3 days earlier. It was delicious.
So, Guatemala and Pastor Jorge's team really embraced our team as we partnered in Christ. We will be working with them for the next couple of days, it appears. It's awesome!
Guatemala is embracing the Father's love!!!!!!
Embracing the Father's Love on "Father's Day"!!! God is good.

LaNette, you would love these people! Also, an angel visited our bus on the way this morning and we sensed that someone at open bible was praying for God to send His angels to help us. It was a warring angel, there to break down strongholds and release the Father's love! Cool! We also prayed for OBF twice today.
