We arrived and began getting things ready for worship. They had a music group that led out in song and Pastor Bona shared with our group. After they led the first part of service, our students led in a few songs and then I had the opportunity to preach.
There is something really cool about having this kind of opportunity. It was refreshing to hear them and see them engage in what was going on. I love their willingness to spur you own when you teach. Love hearing the Amens and such.
After worship we got out the baseball gear and played a few games with them. It was a great time. There was a real sense of community and it felt like we had known each other forever. Let's be honest, they are great ball players
While we played baseball, the ladies in the batey made lunch for everyone. It was amazing and watching everyone serve each other was a great testimony to all the HE is and all that HE does. The lunch was great but when it was over, it meant our time with them had also come to an end. Well at least on this trip.
As we pulled out of the batey, our little bus full of students were I tears. It is always amazing to see the gospel become reality in people's lives. It looks good on them. They wear the gospel well. Your students are awesome.
We left Santa Alicia and drive to El Cea, which is another batey that we have a chicken project in. The chickens in El Cea are now maying eggs and many o the people are starting to sell them and create a little cash flow for their families.
So thankful for the chicken projects that we have going on and very thankful that we are fulfilling a vision through http://chickenchurch.org
