Joseph, the Dreamer, Again

Last night I talked Stephen into going to see Joseph, the Dreamer, at our church in Lourdes.  There was a Royal's game last weekend when I went with Tiffany so he stayed home to watch it.  I knew if I could just get him there that he would enjoy it and I was right.

It was a plus that we sat with Nelson Rivas who had driven over to El Salvador while I was in Guatemala.  It was awesome the second time, too!

Joseph, the Dreamer

Last night Tiffany and I attended the third presentation of Joseph, the Dreamer, at our church in Lourdes.  The group of 40+ cast, sound, stage/props workers began rehearsals in January.  The production was amazing!  What is even better is that it is a great evangelistic tool; there have been professions of faith at each presentation.

750 Beans in the Jar

Joseph came to Managua from North Carolina, leaving a wife and three darling little girls at home.  It was his third (at least) trip and we've had the pleasure to work with him all three times.  In order to help his girls understand why their dad is spending 8 days away from them, he and his wife came up with this idea.  A jar painted black is filled with beans.  Another jar (clear) is empty.  At the end of each day Joseph called home to tell the girls how many professions of faith were made . . . . and they moved the beans from the black jar (dead in their sin) to the clear jar (washed clean by the blood of Jesus.)  

We didn't get an update for the week before the team left, so I sent Joseph (and several others) the total.  This morning I got a FB message from Joseph which read, "750 beans in the jar!  Enjoyed serving along side Vida Nueva."

Praise the Lord for Joseph and the 40 others who invested a week sharing the gospel in Managua.
