On Tuesday evening Miguel and Guille (the pastor of Unifam La Loma and his wife) came over for dinner. We had a great evening. The team from the Washbasin had left materials behind and as we talked through the arrangements for the 'Day of the Child' activities for Sunday we were just thrilled to be able to provide them with specific things that they needed (thank you team!)
We also got to talking about how we could help now that Andrew has finished language school. We will be at the church on Saturdays. We have been asked to co-ordinate the re-start of the breakfast club and help with the music group.
We have been busy planning for the breakfast club and this Saturday we will have a meeting with everyone in the church who is interested in helping. There seems to be a lot of interest. Please pray for wisdom as we plan. One of the main issues is where to hold the event. In the past the team carried stuff down to a nearby shanty town. We want to continue to meet a need there and more importantly to see children and families reached for Christ. There is also a lot of need around the church and we want to reach those kids too. One thought is to start the club in the shanty town and then after we have gained trust and favour, bring it up to the church. Another though is just to start it in the church.
The Club is planned to start on the 12th May (less than 2 weeks!). There is a lot to be done!
Praise God for such a wonderful relationship we have with Miguel and Guille in such a short time. They are so interested in the work of Proyecto MEFI and the street kids. Miguel has a powerful testimony of how God saved him from a life of alcoholism and various associated activities. We are honoured and privileged to be able to work with him.
