SEPTEMBER 2006
There are many plans in a man’s heart,
nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand. (Proverbs
19:21)
In
September we were able to visit Plan Libertador where we
shared God’s love and invited the community to the las
canchas (the basketball courts) for food, song and message
from the Word. We began by spreading out into the community
letting them know about the days events. Joining us was
Kapi'olani who had framed photographs from our July mission
trip that she gave to the families that we visited. Many were
blessed by the photo gifts. It was blessing to see their
surprised faces.
When we
arrived at las canchas we began to setup our chairs and
tables. La Posada setup sound and more chairs. The Vargas
family play all the worship for the event. God sent Thousand
Oaks Calvary Chapel to lend a hand. These guys were incredible
to watch. They drove up with a van and trailer. Five new white
canopies were instantly up and carnival games were setup under
each canopy. They had the kids lined up. Thousand Oaks also
brought more chairs. As each church brought more chairs they
would get filled up. All together we served up to 100 adults
and children this day.
We had a
chance to fellowship with several local men on this trip. It
is always a blessing when we see a few men join us, as it’s
usually women and children. La Semilla provided the message,
'the parable of the prodigal son'.
It was
awesome to see God’s grace. Missionaries from 5 Calvary
Chapels served that day. Each brought unique God given gifts.
Thank you
Lord for this great event! As usual you have been faithful in
blessing the people of Plan Libertador and the missionaries
that served you that day.
