Anyway, a little bit about yesterday, we worked a clinic in Rincon. Here are some of the highlights that happened outside of the actual clinic.
"Yesterday, at the clinic, I got a chance to sneak away from the registration table to talk to the people waiting to be seen by the doctor. I'm not aure if it has been explained previously, but he purpose of the clinics is to meet physical needs of the people while meeting their spiritual needs as well. So all in all we got to share the gospel with about 200 people yesterday. One instance stuck that stuck out to me was when i sat down with Andrew to share with an old lady. Andrew was speaking, Alex was translating, and I was sitting there playing with my "evanga-cube". A little girl, maybe 12 years old came up and asked me what it was, and i started bumbling around with my spanish. The side of the cube showing was the resurrection of Jesus. she asked me in spanish "Who is that?" And i felt the spirit telling me "give it a shot" I had no translator. All of the translators were tied up with other Americans. So I asked God to give me the words, and I got into it. After about 15 minutes, i had finished up sharing the gospel with the cube. I felt pretty good because it seemed like she understood what I was trying to say. I then asked her if I could pray with her. I prayed in English and asked God to use my terrible spanish words and speak to her heart. I gave it my best shot and put it in God's hands. A few minutes later, she asked me if she could borrow my cube. I had the Holy Spirit gut feeling that i should. She turned around and shared with 3 other boys her age. I was especially excited when i heard her say the Spanish words for "No other things...only Jesus. Only trust in Jesus for salvation"It was an incredible Joy to fulfill Jesus' command when he said "go therefor and make DISCIPLES" This girl had accepted Christ as her savior, and within 30 minutes was already spreading the gospel to others. We made sure she had a wordless book bracelet so she would be able to have a good tool to share with her friends from now on. This is what we came to to Paraguay to accomplish. " Marc Rance
I was also able to visit a family that I visited 2 years ago with Pastor Matt. They really seemed as if they were interested in knowing Jesus. It turns out, since we left back then, they started a Bible study in their house and it has been going on once a week for the past 2 years. As far as we know, they have turned their lives to know Jesus and are being discipled continuously by the church.
There is another man who Daniel Wiiki, our team leader for 2 years, talked to as well and is still to this day being discipled by a man of the church of Florida, Juan Meza.
These kind of stories, are a HUGE joy to hear, and make us so glad. God really is doing incredible works in people's lives everywhere, and it is such an amazing experience to be a part of it. I hope you, who are at home, feel this same joy as you are such a big part of why ministries continue like this, whether it is through sending us financially, or continuing to pray for us while we are down here, as well as when we leave.
Lou, Will, Jayant, and Pastor Matt are at a medical conference right now, in which I believe Lou is the keynote speaker of sorts. From what I know now, he's able to share his testimony with tons of medical people. Please pray that God does a work in this conference, that people would not only learn more about their profession, but most importantly about Jesus who wants to have a relationship with them!
We will know more later.
Talk to you all soon!!
