Yesterday was a busy, busy day! At the medical clinic, we were able to see over 100 patients! The highest patient total previously was 62! The team served in the pharmacia filling prescriptions of vitamins, cough syrup, allergy meds...almost all over the counter meds that the people do not have access to. Another group of students entertained the children (and their parents :)) as they waited. There were songs, bubbles, balloon animals, and musical chairs.
I think we sang every children's song ever sung in an American children's church, as well as every worship song with motions every sung in a LCCS chapel or at summer youth camp! Then we discovered that they REALLY liked musical chairs!!! Josh and Hunter alternated playing the guitar as the kids raced around the chairs! The parents were definitely entertained. At one point, we were singing simple praise and worship songs in English, and the scripture that says, "He inhabits the praises of His people," kept rolling across my mind. Even though the people didn't know the meaning of the words, God's presence as the Holy Spirit was washing over them. We prayed that this would be good seed in their hearts and that God would woo them to Himself. WHAT A BLESSING!!!

This morning we are preparing to head to New Life Children's Home to lead the morning church service. We will teaching on the names of God...
- Jehovah Jireh--God is our provider
- Jehovah Nissi--God is our banner
- Jehovah Shama--God is with us
- Jehovah Shalom--God is our peace
As we sought the Lord as to what we should teach, these were the principles that we believe the Lord wants to impart to the kids. Please pray for these truths to sink into the hearts of these children as we teach.
We will head to Manuelito this afternoon where we will present our skits, our songs, our line dances, and our testimonies. Please pray for God to use us as lights and to break through the language barrier. These will be the older children (more teenagers), who have most spent time living on the streets. There are deep wounds for these kids, and we are asking God to be a salve to their wounds and to continue the healing process.
God is faithfully filling us up each morning as we pour out through the day! Thank you for your prayers! We feel them!
