Today we went up to Panquix along with the gang from Cross Commission Ministries. This was our second visit to this community. The first time we went in April and delivered water filters to every family in the community.
Today, the group from Illinois was working on installing stoves and water collection systems. The stoves are really amazing in that they burn hot with less wood and all of the smoke is vented out of the house/kitchen area! They make a huge and immediate difference in the health of the family.
This community has only one water source - a public pila - and so everyone has to hall water to their homes. These simply water collection systems allow the family to collect rain water off of their tin roof and store it in a large barrel.
They also had a medical clinic and were able to see each family in the community. What a blessing.
Rocky, Hector, Arryn and I were in charge of children's ministry. What fun! Our theme for the day was we are children of the King of kings which makes us princes and princesses. We sang songs, played games, learned scripture and made crowns.
Hector told a story of a young boy and his faith and then made an ivitation to the children who didn't know Jesus as their Saviour to accept Him today. And, they came forward. Praise the Lord!
It was also wonderful to share this day with Hector and Arryn.
We are so blessed to be able to spend time with them and serve the Lord together. What a privilege.
The Kingdom of God grew today and we were allowed to be a part of it. Thank you, Lord!
