There have been incredible opportunities from these classes. Yesterday, we had only about 30 students because it was a national holiday. Yet, last Wednesday, there were around 60 students. After the lessons, we discuss a short movie clip from various movies. Each of these movies contain songs/concepts that encourage spiritual conversations and thinking deeply about life. During this small group, the people who have stayed continue to think about relative truth vs. absolute truth along with church traditions vs. a real relationship with Jesus Christ. The Lord continues to open many doors with these classes.
The other day, I was reading 2 Timothy 4. Verses 3-4 say, "For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." This is exactly what I am seeing with many of the people with whom we are working. Often people will believe only what they want to believe. Like one teenager we were talking to, he said "religion" is important, but the majority of the emphasis is on the person and "doing good" instead of completely resting in the work of Christ on the cross to forgive sin.
Today, we have been caring for some of the children down the street.
This is Oriana.
This is Lautaro.
This is Juan Cruz.The little baby, Bianca, that was born 16 days ago is struggling to breath. In the States, she would be in the hospital, but apparently "there was no room." For the past 24 hours, we have kept her here with an air purifier, but she's really struggling now and cannot get enough oxygen. The Donells are taking her to a hospital an hour away. Please pray that the Lord would heal her little body. She is so precious and it's hard to see her struggling to breath.
Walking by faith,
kristen
