Last invitation event

This is as much of the view that we could get into one photo from the location of the breakfast club on Saturday. We have been told there are 1 million people in the area. Looking at the number of houses it is easier to believe but still mind blowing.
When we arrived we thought this event was going to be a lot smaller but one by one they came and once again we had a great group of kids - about 70 in all and about 20 mums.
See if you can spot Andrew chatting to some of the kids as they enjoy
chicken nuggets and chips (fries).
It isn't uncommon to find family circles living together in Mexico. On entering through a common door there is usually a patio surrounded by separated living spaces (like apartments). We had the breakfast club in the patio as the street outside was a steep hill. As you can see the patio was packed and here the crowd are being invited to the church next week.
Once again it was encouraging to see how many church members turned out to help. Here they all are having a well earned break and enjoying something to eat themselves. We also had a meeting to talk about next weeks event.
Please continue to pray. During the week we are hoping to have a banner made which will hang outside the church. I had asked the guy to have it ready by Tuesday but I still haven't received the proof for approval. We have planned to hand out 800 flyers not only in the areas where we had invitation events but in other heavily populated areas. We have no idea how many kids to expect but we will be ready and there is plenty of potential. How wonderful it would be to see these hills covered with children and their families united in Christ (our church denomination is called UNIFAM (Families United in Christ)) and singing His praises.
