no.96 130804 Thank you for the Sunday in Mexico

Centro Guadalajara

My first Sunday in Mexico. Pastor Rolando's family invited us for breakfast before the service. I think I'm getting tired of Mexican food... it's too much meat and bread. I want some fresh salad or some noodles.

 

The morning service was great. There were about 50-60 people at the church. The service started with prayers as always. As our team led the worship, the congregation joined in. I had a great time worshipping with the locals. I could sense their longing and love for God. Although I can't understand what they say, but it is amazing to know that we are praising one God. We also presented the skit we prepared for the first time. We were worried that we are under prepared and that we might screw up, but thankfully it went much better than we thought. One girl named Paula was crying because of the skit. The skit is called the 'Wounded Healer' and it shows the sacrifices Jesus made for us, including His life. I was amazed at the fact that one little skit can impact someone. I was thankful that the message was well sent out. While pastor Peter was giving out the message, I was with the children leading worship songs. We had a great time of worship through our voices and our actions!

 

After the service, we are going to Centro Guadalajara for lunch and some free time. Then, we will return to Rolando's church in the evening for their first Sunday evening service! We are all excited for it and thankful for the growth of his church.
