Teamwork

We're back in Acapulco! This time it's not really a holiday. Andrew has spent a lot of time recently getting ready for the arrival of a team of 12 from Indiana. They are here to build a structure for a house church that has outgrown the size of the house! It is supervised by the pastor of this church which we attended in the city this morning.

Our prayer is that the team will be able to finish the job and that the church will be able to meet there for the first time this Friday night. The church is high in the mountains. Using loud speaker equipment hey projected the sound of their church out over the valley. Some people there heard the music and decided to go and check it out. They liked what they heard but they couldn't walk straight up the mountain to get to the 'church', they had to take a long route around. So a new house church was started for the people in the valley. Isn't that incredible? What about attaching loud speakers to the roofs of all our churches?! In the church at the top of the mountain where the team are working there are about 25-30 people on average and at times up to 50. The team are working alongside Mexicans from the area and have already been developing relationships with the people. Please pray with us that the work will be completed, that the relationships developed will bear eternal fruit and that the building will be finished this week for God's glory.

I have the job of hostess this week - shopping and cooking for the team. We brought one of the young girls from La Loma to help with the kids. We've never had them away from home and out of routine for a whole week before. We'd appreciate prayers that they would stay healthy and get the rest they need (though it may not be at the usual times!). Hopefully for next week we'll have the before and after pictures of the work being done.
