It has become extremely apparent to us, the idol worship in this country. Temples are all over, decorated in gold with pictures of dragons and what not. But what has really hit our hearts deeply, is a 17 story Buddha statue being built. We couldn't help but be reminded of the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from the Bible. This is a country that needs to be claimed for the Lord and His Name needs to be lifted up. I hope you will pray for this country. We believe Jesus Name has power like no other!!
Wednesday: We served alongside the Hoaglands and their ministry to HIV families in various villages. We spent time bringing them food, praying with them and singing worship songs with them. The hospitality from these people was incredible. They had very little and yet wanted to bless us with fruit and drinks.
We spent the evening with the Shoulder to Shoulder kids at the girls' home. This time our team prepared a program for them in which some of us shared out testimonies and so did the kids! Our nights with them are so special. These are amazing youth. We are all so blessed by the Antolec's ministry to them.
Thursday: Work Day! We were finally able to see the new land that the Antolec's purchased for a home for them, the boys and the girls. This land will allow them to all be on the same space of land. There is also so much room for development on the land by them or other ministries and most importantly, whatever God has in store. It was a beautiful piece of property. We helped create a foundation for a water separator. What we did in 3 hours would have taken the workers around 2 days to complete.
We headed back to the Night Bazaar as a team and got some American food for dinner (ha ha): pizza and ice cream! No more bugs....Did we mention Shenay, Bethany and Scott ate bugs on Sunday?
