Altar Call

Some people in line for some grub!

The outreach at the park had a great turn out.We had around 250 show up! The chior sang a few songs and we had some amazing testimonies given by Oscar and Robert, and when Pastor Gregory pulled the altercall we had 20 people answer it, and then as the adults went around and talked to some people we had at least 20 other people dedicate their lives to Christ. People were curious about the church and the things we were saying, they where asking questions and really searching for the answers. On the way home in the bus Robert pulled an altercall and we all praised God for the miracles that he worked tonight and all through this week.

Saturday Nights

Tonight was a very interesting night! Unlike all the other groups our main outreach occured on friday night and tonight was a bit of a chill out day for us. During the week due to a lack of sleep and intense amount of work a lot of stresses and grumpinesses has been built up. Tonight was our day to release all of that. The night began with a bit of a mix up. We had all been craving Mexican food all week and agreed on "Si Senor" for dinner. Fortunately Mrs. Patty called ahead and found oput that "Si Senor" was rather expensive. Instead we ended up going to a little restraunt called Los Hermanitos. When we got there Mr. Dans, and Nic, met the manager. His name was Jeremy and just so happened to be a born again, tongue talking Christian!! After rapid consumption of some of the best mexican food I've EVER had, we were treated to free sopapillas and a few bags of extra chips to take home. These Chips are the Lord's chips, because they were provided by the Lord. Now that we have free chips, and delicious sopapillas it was time to release the wiggles... We went to a beautiful little park where we spent time kicking a soccer ball, throwing frisbies, and getting totally smashed by Nic in a swing jumping contest. Then on the way back to the hotel we stopped by the church to clean up and prepare for church tomorrow. The whole time laughing ridiculiously hard AT The little pony, and the Gazelle, singing to music in the car. All in all tonight was greatly needed and much appreciated night of stress relief and Bonding. Now Fully whiped of all energy we head off to bed. Good night!!

The movie vanished Portland (full house) many visitors

Saturday's fruit

Amazing...just amazing. The pancake breakfast and the BBQ went absolutly great. It was raining down on us here in Oregon during the pancake breakfast, but people still stayed outside waving a sign around inviting people to come join us. We had 8+ visitors come in to the pancake breakfast, including a little girl and her aunt who enjoyed the meal and conversation greatly. One man came in and got saved during the pancake breakfast and the power of God really moved on him. There was also a man who came to the pancake breakfast early and we began to tell him about Jesus Christ. He says he doesn't go to church, but always goes to their free food events. He ended up getting angry when we asked him if he wanted to get saved, and ended up leaving.

We saw a shortage of people after the pancake breakfast, so we quickly practiced our skits, then we went door to door to invite people to the BBQ. People began to follow us to the church, eager to eat and see what was going on. 5 people got saved and each one of them stayed longer to chat and just learn more about God. During the movie tonight, one more person got saved, and he said he would bring his friends to sunday service. God is moving mightily in this church.

P.S. the boys made a deal to do atleast 150 push-ups a day. So when your children get back home, they'll be in good shape. If they can do push-ups that is.
