Today we drove two hours south to the Pacific Coast to a town called Gulfita. My favorite story from today could be my favorite memory so far. We arrived at the church and began setting up for our first program to find out that we wouldn't be having it. So we would wait at the church until later that afternoon for the second service to start. We did some more prep work, ran through the program again to refresh, had lunch and then after lunch the school next door had let out. Our guys were all dying to get a good game of soccer in before the program so they went out to the field between the school and the church to try to find some children to play with. They started with just two boys and then 4, then 5. This group of boys went from not being interested in coming to the program to being the first to join in the moves to "Jesus Your My Superhero." Then these boys responded to the altar response and accepted Christ into their hearts for the first time!! I'm convinced they were the ones we were sent to Gulfita for. I'm so proud of our guys for taking the time to kick around a soccer ball with them, convince them to come to the program, and then pray with them to invite Christ in their lives. ~ That's why we are here!!
