Yesterday we spent the morning going door to door in a poor neighborhood in Managua sharing the gospel and announcing the "festival" in the evening. There were kids everywhere--since school is out, many of them were home alone. We knew that we would have our hands full with the kids that evening. Sure enough, we were right. Even with 6 adults working the inflatable, the 75 kids in each line were all over the place! We really got a workout trying to keep kids from getting hurt--we did "pull the plug" on it about 15 minutes early. Even with the early shutdown of the inflatable, there was a big crowd for the movie, drama and preaching, and 30 or more people made the most important decision of their life.
Today we had our morning devotions at VidaNueva/Managua. It was the first time we had seen the church because our Sunday service was at the hotel. The rental house is very nice; three bedrooms are used for a nursery and kids classes. After devotions we followed the same routine as yesterday, in a different neighborhood. We went back tonight at 4:30 and although there were 30-50 kids in each line, they were well behaved. Stephen got a chance to meet Ernesto who was watching his two boys on the inflatable. At the conclusion of the gospel presentation, we were so excited to see that Ernesto made a decision for Jesus. He promised that he would be in church on Sunday. This is what it's all about--thank you for praying for the work the team is doing in Managua this week.
