Sunday in church at Tilaran

A service of praise and worship in Spanish, a few of us sharing testimonies --Kelly and Elizabeth, with translations by Miss Clements and Mrs. Reilly-- and LaMar sharing a challenging message on the spiritual warfare around us and how we can protect ourselves by watching the intake on our ears, eyes, and mouth.

A very special part of this trip has been the evening sessions after our busy work days are finished. We meet as a group and share in team Bible study, started even before we left.  Beyond that, LaMar Salley, our team host also shares Bible studies or team activities to help us develop our courage to step out of our comfort zone, our compassion for others, and our desires and determination to disciple others as Christ originally commanded.  We have been pushed to carry what we learn here back to our worlds in Ohio (family, neighbors, church, school) so that God's offer of salvation and abundant life in Christ continue forward and multiply.
  

2 Timothy 2:2

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Matthew 28:18-20

¹⁸And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

 ¹⁹Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

 ²⁰Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


P.S. After church in Tilaran, we drove about 30-40 minutes to Cañas (considerably hotter climate there) and began another VBS program with Pastor Manuel.
