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.
