44 people received eye glasses Friday. All but two of these wanted someone to visit them in their home and talk to them about a deeper relationship with Christ. In our prayer for them, our team thanked God for the relationship he offers us in Christ, for the meaning he brings to life, and for the assurance he provides that he cares for us out of love not obligation. I believe God used these prayers to prompt these people to invite us into their homes.

Jana, Allison, and Abbey played games with the kids, taught them songs and showed them what it means to have Jesus in your heart. There were close to 50 kids smiling, running, shouting, and fighting for hugs.

We worked out the details for the Feeding Center that will be funded by the quarters Rock Creek kids raised this Spring. 30 children (18 families) will participate in the program. The children will be fed a nutritional breakfast Monday through Friday. The parents are required to help with the preparation of the breakfast and must attend a seminar every two weeks. These seminars will focus on character, parenting, values, relationships, etc.

One lady came up to me at the eye clinic. She looked me in the eye, smiled and thanked me for the glasses that would deliver her from darkness. My prayer for her was that God would use the gift of these glasses to help her see that God is head-over-heels in love with her.

The team continues to confirm God's brilliance in choosing this team for this time. I am in awe at the interaction, the love and grace that is being poured out, and the power of the truth that is being proclaimed.

This is Saturday morning. We leave the hotel at 8:00 for Nuevo Pachacutec. Today we join members from our partnering church to clean up the streets of this slum. This is a major undertaking that will raise a lot of questions and create much dialogue. Can't wait to see what God is up to today.

I will post pictures tonight when we get back. Thanks for your prayers.
