Another update...
It has been a busy few days... today at 3pm we are distributing the food for folks affected by the storm. Two different churches are going to two different areas that were hardest hit (2pm ET). I will be going with the folks from Los Ciruelitos (I am driving the IMB van to help with transportation.) Please be in prayer for these efforts that people will recognize God's love.
Yesterday Sol and I purchased the toys for the kids Christmas bag- they will be filled with vitamins, underpants, and a toy and whatever else is still out in the storage shed! Saturday at 3 we will be giving the kids in the Hole their presents. The other two churches will do that Sunday during the Sunday School hour. (The downtown market was SO JAMMED PACK- for a person like me who doesn't like to shop it was not the greatest experience but I was glad to get it over and it was sort of fun to be in the middle of the Christmas crowd.)
We also bought food to make 50 food bags (the bags we packed the other day are specifically for the flood victims and not for the "general" needy folks) to give to our church folks and needy folks in the community. Tomorrow morning we will pack up both bags- the Christmas one for the kids and the food for the families.
Tonight at 8pm Sol has a Christmas concernt planned in Los Santos- I pray it will be a special opportunity for the church to bring a Christian witness to the community through music. Be in prayer for Sol and Almencio as they exercise leadership and witness to the folks there.
More later...
