We arrived after an hour ride through some beautiful country side to a quant little town called Orocuna. We were welcomed warmly by Pastor Hector and his congregation. We gathered around to meet and greet one another as the church members continue to arrive on the local moto taxis. Bobby, team leader introduced himself and allowed his team members to introduce themselves. Pastor Hector introduced his church members who were going out door to door with them that day. Pastor Hector was honest in sharing these people will say they are Christians when in reality they are not. They will say they go to church when there is a strong possibility they may go a few times a year. He said something quiet profound to the team this is a community who thinks when they come to church you are suppose to give them something. We as a church ask you not to give out anything to anyone while out making your visits. We are not a church who gives things out. Praise God for this statement. Mike and I always thought this hand out concept was hard on the pastors once the teams left and now we got confirmation on our first morning in Orocuna by Pastor Hector.
We gathered in a circle as we lifted our day up in pray. Pastor Wayne led the pray as Meida translated it for him. Everyone then broke up into their groups to get to know each other and share their testimonies and prayer concerns with one another. They were just about ready to go and to the ends of the earth to share the love of Jesus Christ.
