The Power of the Word...

This morning I preached on Christian behavior from Romans 12:9-21 and one of the points is that we are to distribute to the needs of the poor and be hospitable. I mentioned that we have a shack/pulperia at end of our street w/a very poor family w/ young children that we have given lots of food, clothes, toys, etc. to; but we have never invited them to swim in our pool or eat at our table. NOT HOSPITABLE!

Fabiola was listening and after the service she said, "when you mentioned that we never invited them I felt like I needed to go home and ask them to swim with us." She did just that and this afternoon we had 3, 5, & 8 year old girls enjoying the refreshing of the pool all because Fabiola was listening and the word penetrated her!!! Now, we expect that the love Fabiola showed them will bring a ray of hope into their lives and crack open the door for Jesus to walk in.

Cool stuff!
