Fabiola, Mauricio, and I went to the village this afternoon for another hour of foundation building. We've set aside one hour each week to meet with the village leaders and discuss various topics from the bible to help them to find their way in Jesus Christ. We keep telling them we're not here just to help them get new homes, nicer homes, but to also bring the blessings of Jesus Christ into their lives.
We're really taking it slowly and trying to build a firm base for them so the enemy finds it much more difficult to steal their seed. Right now we're working on personal worth and reconciling our relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Today we spent the entire hour on 2 Cor. 5:14-21 and we had a lively discussion. Just saying that is a major breakthrough because they just were not the type to sit down and discuss anything; let alone the bible and God. Step by step they're getting more comfortable and beginning to believe that God really can, and does, care about a poor little village in the cane fields.
Pray for them as we continue this "Pilgrim's Progress" with El Doradito and pray for us that we allow the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to guide us.
