On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. John 7:37
(Guiding Scripture for Las Esquinas Crusade)
(Hey, Jana here, helping Anna Katherine out with this post) In our last post we promised to finish our story of the trip and how it came about. Well, once we decided that we needed to hand deliver the equipment, we started to look at the calendar to see when we might be able to fit a trip to Nicaragua in our schedule. Our break from school was the week of February 14 so we decided our trip should be around then. We finally determined that a trip beginning around Feb 10 or 11 would be perfect for us. To our great surprise, though not God's, when we called Pastor Aburto to see whether those dates would work for him, we learned that this was the very day of the start of their church's first Community Crusade. So, because of God's perfect timing, we will be participating in the church's first crusade. This is an opportunity many Americans never have to see God working in a different culture and in a setting that is foreign. While much will see strange to us, what will not be strange is God's Word being preached in its glorious fullness to a people hungry for hope.
The people of Las Esquinas have been meeting each day for the last several weeks at 4:30 am to pray for revival and for a fresh falling of the Holy Spirit on the people of their community. They will be praying again tomorrow. This will be 5:30 am Eastern Time. Perhaps you'd like to join them!
For His glory,
Jana
