Outreach Events!

So I seriously need to catch up on the many things that have been happening here.  We had a busy weekend and then took some days off, so I haven’t had time to write.

SO – we did have a closing program for the latest semester of classes at the community centre (Centro Cultural Tiempo de Vivir)  In my opinion, it was one of our best closing programs ever.  Not a huge group, everyone involved did a great job, people were into it, and paying attention – it was fun.

Shari made a presentation to the women who came to the baking class this year.  Less than half came, sadly, but the ones who came got a special surprise!  Here they are…

On Saturday we joined the church in Santa Barbara, Ixtapaluca – and several other churches from Mexico City – for a day of evangelism and outreach in Santa Barbara.  It was a “spring festival” theme – people dressed in “springy” costumes, carried signs, sang, played instruments, etc, as we paraded through the neighbourhood.  Then we stopped at a park and did some face painting, Gospel-sharing, and gift-giving.

They also promoted the wheelchairs that we can offer thanks to Operation Blessing.  We tried to get the word out to those who may be in need of a wheelchair but can’t afford one.

Praise the Lord that the Gospel was shared at these two events, and people did respond!

I’ll write more about March (and maybe some other things) shortly.  Meanwhile, if you haven’t visited our photo gallery for a few days, you might want to see our newest photos.
