Hi, guys, hope you are all doing well. Things here are incredible, wish you
were all here to enjoy it with us. The last few days we have been working at
Hannah´s Home cleaning, power washing, raking, etc. Last night we had
thechance to attend Pastor Moses´ church and that congregation is always
such a blessing to us! Dave and I each gave a short testimony, a Columbian
Evangelist delivered an awesome message (even though we didn´t catch
half of it) and the worship...yes, the worship, was the best! How blessed we
were!
But I must tell you the story that happened after service. This young
girl,probably 21 or 22, came up to me and asked to speak with me. I pulled
away from the group and she told me how our ministry is such a blessing to
her! She said she too had a baby at a very young age and that the experience
resulted in the death of the infant (not unusual). The poor little thing was
crying as she relayed the story. Now, I must interject the fact that
the church is located in a town where $100 per week is considered very good
income. Anyway, she said that she wanted to bless our ministry and I
was thinking volunteer labor, etc. No, she pulled out 30 soles (about $9)
and pressed it into my hand. She said thats all she had, but wanted us to
have it. I have to tell you, the humbleness I felt at that moment almost
made me weak in the knees.
I have to run right now, but thinking about this ¨widows mite¨ did, and should, teach us all something about our own sacrificial giving.
Love you all,
Terry
