Lately, we've been building lots of houses. God is giving new homes to six families this week. Some weeks it's only a couple of houses, other weeks there are more. Last week, we built precisely zero houses because Unto the King Fellowship was visiting from Lodi, CA to help the Lord build His Church.
During Unto the King's mission trip, we began at the Globos (a huge outdoor market of everything you could want used and new). The visiting missionaries purchased clothing to distribute among the poor in our area and some medical equipment for a local care home for the elderly. During the days, Unto the King did work projects to help IDT missionaries and set up a large swing set at the local kindergarten. During two evenings, we did evangelistic outreaches at a small, very poor campo in Padre Kino. Another evening was spent at an evangelistic outreach in Las Misiones where we showed the movie La Esperanza (The Hope). The week flew by fast, but it was very productive and, I believe, eternally fruitful! Thank you, Lord!
An interesting tidbit is that Unto the King Fellowship left one of their own here to stay for a few weeks for our youth "Summer of Service" program. He's already having a great time!
This week began with plumbing problems. Oh what a joy. Anyway, plumbing problems around here are the norm and we're gradually working our way through them and seeing a slow improvement. About 100 people are here from Pleasant Valley Baptist and YWAM. I'm very thankful that they're patient!
Yesterday was a brief break from IDT's base for me as I was able to visit all six house sites and evangelize a little. Este es Jesus (This is Jesus) books were distributed to all the families and a girl who asked for it. The Lord let me speak to a mom and five kids about Him while they were selling bracelets and other items at one of the house sites. I also got to help at our daycare center for a while, play with the kids, then fill a propane tank for a fellow missionary. All of this made the toilet plunging worthwhile.
