God's Word, a Sound System and a Crusade - Part II (still Friday)

(A post from Jana). Friday night's crusade was an experience like none other. We traveled to the crusade by "mini moto," a little three wheeled vehicle powered by a motor similar to a lawn mower. We left the main road and traveled by dirt road through Las Esquinas (The Corners) until the dirt road ended at a large platform and hundreds of red plastic lawn chairs. A large banner above the platform read: "Si alguno tienes sed, venga a mi y beba. Juan 7:37" (If anyone has thirst, let him come to me and drink.) How I wish I could post a picture of this sight - maybe later. By the road was the house of an hermano in the church. We were given a very warm welcome!! Everyone greated us with "La Paz de Cristo," (which is The Peace of Christ). Ladies from the church were in the back of the house preparing tortillas, tacos and enchiladas. Standing around talking to them was true koinonia, but in Spanish. To quote AK, the 2 1/2 hour Crusade was 60% singing 30% preaching and 10% altar call. The music was spirited, and everyone knew the words, the preaching was on Romans 8 and surely brought the gospel to these people. Who knows what seeds were planted? We are just praying that after the crusade is over we'll need to buy more chairs for the church!
