During the past 3-4 weeks, I've acquired a new appreciation for how many of the people in our area of Baja live. You see, the water pump that faithfully helped cool the engine in my Toyota pickup for 165,000 miles finally gave out. That means I've had the opportunity to put some miles on my tennis shoes and a few miles on the local bus instead.
During this time, I've borrowed an IDT pickup to haul the film equipment for a showing of "The Story of Jesus for Children" in the Triqui village and my first ever showing of "La Esperanza" in Playas Guerrero. You can see La Esperanza in English at http://www.thehopeproject.com.
When there hasn't been a load to haul, the walking from IDT's base to evangelize at the house construction sites and to help families has been good. Being the only "Americano" on the bus into Vicente Guerrero has never been a problem. I've ridden the bus several times to gather parts to fix my water pump. In fact, the bus service is reliable and very easy to use. I recommend it if you don't mind a lack of legroom!
Looking ahead, we have a busy March. We're planning a concert outreach at the Dome church in the Las Misiones village for the youth of that area. Our youth will soon be heading 500 miles south to Loreto to present a youth conference at Ancla de Fe (Anchor of Faith) church. Other opportunities for movie outreaches are just on the horizon and we have our ongoing house-building program, too. Please pray that the Lord would bring many people into His Kingdom during these outreaches.
