Thanksgiving in Panama




Happy Thanksgiving!!!

What to do on thanksgiving in a foreign country? We could spend $27.00 per person for a meal at the Sheraton. Nah! Too much dinero. Or, by a turkey and cook it in a propane oven for 4 to 6 hours. No, we hate the smell and really don't have a clue to proper heat and time. And it's a lot of work for just the 4 of us. Besides, Thanksgiving is more about being with friends and family, all of which are back home in Springs.
So, the ol' gobbly gobbly got lucky this year. Maybe we'll have Iguana:) Actually we decided to go American and eat out at T.G.I. Fridays. A good old fashion bacon cheeseburger will just have to do.
We did buy a christmas tree today, so the girls are thrilled about putting on the lights and the decorations tonight and then we'll kick back and watch "The Search For Santa Paws!"
We are very grateful and thankful for all God has done for us and is doing! Happy Thanksgiving!

9,900 fliers to go!


Today we went on outreach and went door to door passing out fliers and tracts and preaching Jesus! Rachelle went with Shamara Rose and little Meg. And I went with Noe and Sarah.
It was a holy ghost time!!! We spoke to many that were open to the gospel. I prayed with one man right in the middle of the street and he thanked me afterwards. I passed one house and I saw several muslims inside. Long beards and the clothing and the caps. Holy ghost power came over me and I walked right inside with no hesitation and began to share the gospel. I asked the oldest man in there if he had any sickness and he said yes, diabetes. I asked if I could pray for him and he responded yes, please. So, I laid hands on him, and in the name of JESUS I rebuked sickness and prayed in a loud voice, "Jesus, you died on the cross for our sins, and the bible says by your stripes we are healed, heal this man now!!" When I was done you could hear a pin drop. The man thanked me. And I thank God for the boldness.
So, praise God we passed out about 100 fliers and we pray for fruit. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few

Evangelize!!!!


Services have been great. We have seen visitors come in and stick. And God is building his church! Hallelujah!
We just received 10,000 flyers, thanks to VWO Colorado Springs, and we are so excited to be able to invite people with such an eye-popping flyer. It also gives an open door to share the gospel.
We were in a chinese restaurant chowing down on chow mein, (by the way, when was the last time you seen a chinese speaking spanish?) and had just received the flyers so I invited out this chinese lady. She said, "Tienes culto en chino?" ("Do you have chinese service?")lol. No, sorry just spanish. But her spanish was much better than mine.
Again pray for us as we evangelize this city for Jesus!!
