Loreto Praise Report, etc.

Just over a week ago, we returned from our mission trip to Loreto.  Over 30 of us loaded into a borrowed school bus and went 500 miles south to the land of sportfishing and beer.  However, our purpose was to participate in a youth conference themed, "To live, we must die".  The idea being that when we Christians die to our desires and comforts, God is able to use us to bring life to others and, in the process, give us the abundant life He promises.  Too often, we trade God's abundant life for temporary comforts.  We don't know what we're missing.

Golgota, the all girl Christian worship band, traveled with us and led worship during the conference.  My job was being the sound guy.  During the week, the youth and band did an evangelical outreach at the malecon (think boardwalk) along the beach in Loreto.  Everything in Loreto happens at the malecon among the local Mexicans and visiting Americans & Canadians.  One man came forward to publicly accept Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord!  We also distributed some "Este es Jesus" (This is Jesus) books and tracts.

The Lord completely blessed the whole week.  We had no problems while traveling.  He even let us miss a bull standing in the middle of our lane at 1:30 a.m. on the way back to Vicente Guerrero.

Since the trip, I've done evangelism at our house construction sites and am preparing to implement a new street evangelism idea with the help of another IDT missionary.  Please keep it in prayer.  Details to follow in a future post.
