A Divine Appointment

As we were about to leave we began to pray. With hands raised, six of us joined together and began to lift up Benedita in Jesus’ name. The room filled with the sweet sound of verbal prayers in two languages. The Holy Spirit was there. Even though we had just met, there was a unity we all felt. It was evident that the Lord had brought us together to share this moment.

Maria showed Martin and Stephen her wound.

Benedita showed Martin and Stephen her wound.

It all started after Martin and I delivered meals to Benedita on Tuesday (August 9th) and she showed us a spot on her leg from a fall she took a few days earlier. After seeing a photo of it nurse Tonyia wanted to treat it. She, Martin and I returned so she could perform wound care.

After kid’s club on Wednesday night (8/10) Tonyia, Stephen and Martin went to see if Benedita’s wound was better and a neighbor told us she had left with a friend. We returned later that same night and this time she was home. Soon after we arrived, three other ladies showed up to visit Benedita.

One of the ladies, Elvira was a Christian missionary who lived near Mexico City. She had not been to Galeana for a long time. She had been in Monterrey and made a last minute decision to take a detour to see her sister who lives in Galeana. Her sister, also a Christian, took her to check on Benedita who is her neighbor and there we were.

Benedita lives in a tiny one room adobe shack. Benedita was confused as to whom she was to pray. Between Martin and Elvira, our new Christian missionary friend, that confusion was soon laid to rest. They informed her there is only one God and it is to Him we pray.

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” Mark 5:34

Uplifting Marco 10:14 Club Meeting

There were lots of smiles and loads of Jesus’ love shared with the 40 or so kids at the Marcos 10:14 kid’s club when they met on Wednesday (August 3rd) at Casa Cristana El Alfarero (the ministry house).  Yessi, Martin, Ana and several other adults (Stephen and Tonyia are in the USA) stayed busy keeping up with the kid’s activities.

The kids who recited their memory verses selected a prize.

Yessi lead a fun, Bible-based program that involved the kids every step of the way. One of the activities was to get them to wrap paper around a volunteer to illustrate how God wraps his love around each of us. Yessi had some of the kids sit on a blanket on the ground as she read to them the story about Jesus feeding the five thousand (Matthew 14:15-21). She told them how he put them in groups on the ground.

Several kids recited their memory verses perfectly and earned the privilege of selecting a prize. Martin treated all the kids to a little candy treat, plus they all had a cold drink and snack at the end of the two hour meeting.

The Lord was surly smiling too as the children grew closer to Him and had a good time doing it. It was a wonderful evening at the Marcos 10:14 club meeting – all glory to God!
