As I mentioned in my previous post, this is a very large group. On Sunday morning we asked Fellowship Bible to attend the 9:00 a.m. service and Christ Chapel Bible to attend the 11:30 a.m. service so they could all have receivers to hear the simultaneous translation of Pastor Steve's message into English.
For the Sunday evening family festival we worked with Pastor Koky Lopez and our campus in Lourdes. There is always a good crowd when we have a festival in Nuevo Lourdes. The people were packed in to the small park. There were 22 professions of faith and many good contacts.
We just finished a great week with a team from First Baptist Ferguson, St. Louis, Missouri. They came last May, as well, so we were very happy to see some of them again as well as to meet several new faces.
They arrived in the afternoon on Saturday and since we didn't have a campaign, we took them to the gringo market and to Los Planes for pupusas.
On Sunday we visited our church in Lourdes and were able to be a part of their Mother's Day celebration, which included being serenaded by a traditional Mariachi singer.
We had our first family festival on Sunday evening in Nueva Lourdes.
