Glory to God

Every day we have seen the Lord at work and we just want to give him all the Glory!! On Wednesday for instance, our bus was running 45 minutes late and “we” thought we would not make it in time to get breakfast fixed and served to the children. However, with it out of our control we were able to get there and get breakfast prepared and serve the kids right on time. We also prepared lunch and dinner for that day and ended up having just enough food for the dinner feeding. On Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings, Pan De Vida has a church service with praise and worship and a feeding program for the adults and children. Wednesday night we fed about 160 people and ended the last meal with the last person standing in line. I am so amazed at how many times this continues to happen to me and Mike on the mission field. This has been unique team in that only a few of them have ever been on a mission trip much less out of the country. We love to see God at work changing the lives of the people on the team in such a short period of time. We have had to pray on a number of occasions for the rain to go away, for the gatekeeper at the dump to let us come in and serve the night workers, and for someone living on the street to be available when we are driving home to give them the extra food we have had left over from our dinner. God has certainly shown up in so many ways and we still have another week to go.
