Hut to Hut Evangelizing

This trip is coming to an end. And in two short days I will be on my way home. It's a very bittersweet feeling. My physical body is restless but my Spirit is high and upbeat. Going on a mission trip is NO vacation. This is all about discipline, stretching myself, and relying solely on God. It's fun and well worth it all though!

Today I went out to evangelize with Jared, Kelah, and our translators. It was quite the muddy journey from all the rain. My translator, Joseph did a fantastic job. We talked to around 15 people about Jesus and 5 came to accept Him, which is great! The others were all willing to hear but decided it wasn't the right time or they wanting to wait on it. And that was totally fine as well. Like I said in the earlier post, there's free will when it comes to Jesus. I just pray they will come to find and experience Jesus because life is much more blessed and enriched with Him in it. And of course, like anywhere you go, there's people who will discourage and insult you for believing in Jesus. There was a man who I shared the HIV Hope cube with. After wards he asked why I was here, why Americans watch movies with people killing each other as entertainment, and he basically said they have enough apostles here so we don't need you. I answered I'm here because I love Jesus and I want to tell others from the across the world about how magnificent He is and how He desires a personal relationship with everyone. America is far from perfect, even with all our resources...we need Jesus too. And to his last point, I said I'm not an apostle and prayed for him as I shook off the dust from my feet and left. At least he learned about HIV/AIDS!

This is the home church in the neighborhood we were in. It's made of mud, sticks, hay, and the door is wooden. We had to duck to get in.

This is the inside of the church. There were three wooden benches total.

In this area, We shared with these kids and the oldest brother rededicated his life back to Jesus, PTL! He said he went astray for awhile but wants to come back. This little girl is now sporting the Kid's Camp 09' sweatshirt!

Cows are treasured pets to them. It's their source of daily milk and eventually food. You can see the house with sticks protruding out. Each time they slab on more mud and it dries; this creates another layer. Eventually the sticks will be covered like the picture up there of the church.

They use this to dry their clothes and/or give their small cattle a shelter.

Francis and Paulina's family. Saved on May 29, 2010! Salvation is here and He lives in us.

Lunch was a little out of the norm. That's a FRESH chicken.

Today we ended early and came back to Reedbuck Hotel for the closing ceremony with our entire team and the nationals. It was a time of worship and soaking in what the Lord has done for everyone on the trip. And it was also picture time!

Vincent - a true man of God and testimony of how gracious God is. Not to mention, he is hilarious and silly!

Kelah, me, Lindsey. She started the whole peace sign...

Sorry, this picture is scary and I should've warned you. One of the translators gifted us with these t-shirts and so we wanted to model them off. Suz's face is PRICELESS! Nurses are fun :)
