To the ends of the earth...

This past Sunday Kevin had the opportunity to go with some men and boys from the home further up the mountain and visit some people who were known to have a bed ridden relative. After spending an hour driving up steep rocky washed out roads we arrived at a homestead very far of the beaten path.

On our way back from our fruitful visit.

We came bringing some food and our Bibles in hand ready to share God's word with this family. Father- Rogelio, daughters Eleylia, Daisy, and nephew and niece. Daisy, the lady in the bed is terminally ill with cancer. We shared with her how God loved her and that he desires a personal relationship with her.

After we all shared scriptures and testimony to this family the father and his two grown daughters received the Lord as their Savior!!

It was really awesome to feel the Holy Spirit move amongst us as we shared the Word. The two children you see in the above picture did not make the decision to know Christ.

Their names are Kevin and Isis Sarahi. Please pray for them as we plan to go back soon to visit them and some of their many relatives. We were informed that beyond this area we went to, which is a vast mountain area, there are many hundred or so families, and there is not an established church in the area for them.

It's clear that when maybe we think that people around us have heard of the gospel we are surprised to see that they really just needed us to share with them again. In this case this family shared with us that they had not heard what all God's word says about knowing Christ as your personal Savior and had never been told.


This reminds us of 1 John 5:13 "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."
