This week in Irapuato I have had the opportunity to see many smiling faces and the work of God at each site, while working on the media team with Philip Jones. This afternoon, I witnessed the joy of new believers and the powerful work of the Holy Spirit with the street team at Ucopi.
I followed Art (our translator), Bridget Abdo, and Jennifer Martin as they went from house to house to share Christ with the people of Ucopi. We stopped by to say hello to Cira, an older lady who had received Christ the day before, and she was filled with such joy to see the team once again. We asked her if she had any neighbors who we could pray for. She led us to her next-door neighbor’s house where we stayed for the next hour. Once invited inside, Art began to talk to Virginia (Cira’s neighbor) about God.
He explained to her the free gift that is a relationship with Christ. Jennifer also shared things with her about believing and the power of prayer. She literally dropped to her knees as she told Virginia to pray for her community. Virginia prayed to receive Christ today. Afterwards, Art explained to her how to pray and the group encouraged her to pray and study her Bible with her neighbor Cira.
Once we left, we went to tell Cira that her neighbor, Virginia, was also a believer and they should pray together. Art showed Cira how to pray as well and we left, encouraging them to gather as believers and pray for a revolution in their community.

May we each be as bold here in The Woodlands and see our neighbors just as lost.
