Sunday has been a day of rest. We attended a church service where Noah preached a great message about sharing the Gospel and not being ashamed of Christ. We sang "Revelation Song" and enjoyed hearing the church members sing praise and worship songs in their language. It was an awesome experience. Even though we couldn't understand the words they were singing, you could tell they were praising the Lord just by watching them. It's incredible to think about how big this world is and how you can praise God in any language. Even if we can't understand each other, we can still worship the Lord together.
While Noah was preaching, Melonie, Julie, and Dakota did a shortened VBS with a few of the children. They had a Bible story, songs, and games.
After the church service and lunch, we headed out to see a little more of the city. They took us to a high point in the city so that we could see a great view of the area. Then, we walked around Juigalpa for a little while.
Later today, we are going to head to another church and do another movie presentation for the congregation.
The people in Nicaragua are so kind and welcoming. When you want to share the Gospel they just invite you in to their home and pull up a chair for you. It seems like everywhere we go, everyone greets us with a hand shake and a smile. We will be visiting several other churches in this area throughout this week. Our prayer is that God will show us a certain place where we can establish an ongoing relationship with a church in that particular area. Please pray that God would show us where He wants us to develop that partnership for the future.
We are excited about the next few days in Nicaragua. I've included a few pictures from today so that you can see them. We love you all!
