Outreach in one month. Tomorrow, October 23, our team will have been in Nicaragua for an entire month. I can't believe it. We are now at our third location, staying at a Korean Missionary base in Cuidad Sandino. We have been helping three different pastors with construction at their churches, providing a neighborhood with hairs cuts, pedicures and even more than that. We have been so blessed by the way the Lord has provided for us.
I am learning what it means to step beyond what I think I can do. I believe the Lord is drawing me to him as the outreach continues to unfold. I am not perfect, but the Lord is perfecting me. Not that I would ever get there, but he is moving me as if he is convinced there is more for me to gain. It is convincing me of his big plan. He has more intended for me than what is happening now. About a week ago, I was walking with my team on my way to do house visits with a pastor from a church we were staying with. We ran into a group of drunk men, when they stopped us to ask if we had something to say. I started to preach... The words were kind of just spilling out, probably too fast for the translator to catch. A woman in the group broke down crying, confessing her sins and desire for change...
I love when God does that.
Pray for our team! More updates to come...
Hey Elizabeth...

Lizza, it's so cool to hear what God is doing. Awesome story! That is so radical! God is indescribable! Don't you love that about Him? Ah, I do! Love you and miss you!
ReplyDeleteAmen! When you are available, God will move through you in ways you don't even know. How awesome to begin proclaiming who God is, as you are obedient to Him.... even to a group of drunk people, the Spirit can Speak .. Love this!!
