We have had such a wonderful time this week with the mission team, BWO. They have blessed us and the people of Jaco so much---we just can't thank them enough for all they have done!! There were many people who gave their lives to Jesus this week as a result of all the ministry going on. Please pray that we are able to follow up with these people and help disciple them in their relationship with the Lord. Also pray that they would come to church and begin to be fed spiritually on a weekly basis. We are just more than blessed for all this team has done!! The medical team saw hundreds of patients and because an OB/GYN was part of the team she did free Pap Smears and STD testing for almost 100 women. It was so amazing to see people's spiritual needs met as well as their physical needs. We took the cosmetology team out on Thursday and Friday nights to minister to the prostitutes like we did last year. We did hand massages, prayed with them and even scheduled some of them for appts with the doctor for free medical exams. It was a blessed time and weare praying that the seeds planted with these women will grow however the Lord sees fit.
The VBS and Sports Outreach teams ministered to many children and on Saturday night we put on a big family night at the soccer field where we meet for church. We rented inflatables and had carnival games with prizes for the kids to enjoy. We fed them and then the Evangelism/Drama team did a few dramas ending with the story of Jesus healing the blind man, Bartimaeus. We had a pair of men from the team who have a ministry in The States where one teaches while the other paints what is being taught. It was incredible to see the painting of Jesus healing the blind man come alive as Terry taught and Chad painted. Many in attendance at the family night gave their lives to Christ after the teaching. All in all, it has been a wonderful week though we are exhausted! God is doing amazing things here in Jaco and we are so blessed to be a part of it. Below are a few more pictures from the week...
