Day 3

It's 8am here in Tenali so it should be about 730 at home. This trip has been absolutely amazing so far. This may be my last post for a while as we are moving into a village for the next 4 nights. It should be awesome to be with the people in the village sharing the love of Christ on a daily basis.

Here's a recap of yesterday which primarily centers around the Leper outreach.
We split into two teams so we could effectively minister to 370 lepers. We had 2 worship teams, testimonies, and messages. On one team we had Kathleen giving the message, Rene and Carlos leading worship with Shauntelle, Larry and Lisa, Rene shared his testimony, Carmen, Amilcar, and Karina prayed for all the people. Everybody was saying the message and testimony were perfect together. Of course God planned that out.

On the other team Charlie gave the message, Blanca shared her testimony, which yet again matched up perfectly. Janette was our emcee, Robin, Josh, Michelle, and Smirna were our worship team, and Kevin got some great footage. Charlie gave a call to faith at the end of the message and 15 people accepted Christ for the first time. Most of the people there have heard and believed already, which is awesome. We also prayed for everybody including a week old baby they had out there.

The Leprosy camp was a huge majority of our day.

Later we did a mercy ministry and Kevin blessed and prayed over the people before we gave out a bunch of food to people living in the slums.

It was a great day.

We are about to have our Sunday morning devotional and worship time. Then we will split up and go to two different churches to share the gospel and encourage our brothers and sisters here. Later today, Karina will be dedicating a water well and we will be doing two night outreach crusades where literally hundreds if not a thousand people will hear the gospel for the very first time. Josh, Carmen, Janette, and Amilcar will be speaking there. Pray for God to move hearts, to send His Spirit and to speak boldly through us this evening.

Thank you for your prayers. We will update when we can.

Read Ephesians 2:1-10 as the passage for today. Pray that passage is believed and shared with love.

Peace.
