In the teaching time, we shared God's plan of salvation that we have been learning all week. Today, we gave the kids the opportunity to respond to God's invitation to be His friends because of what Jesus has done for us. We explained what Jesus has done for us and that we all have to make a decision to accept Jesus. We explained that we won't give any prizes for accepting Jesus and that each one has to make their own decision in their heart. Six kids responded to the invitation and asked Jesus to be their Saviour and friend. How exciting! We will continue to follow up and share with these kids as we have the opportunity.
The week of fun, tiring work was worth it. Today I went and knocked on Memo's door and he came along to the program. He's actually playing in our house at the moment because his family has all gone out. We have been able to open the door to many kids here in our neighbourhood and share with them the love and hope of God. We continue to pray that God would continue this work as we open our home and our hearts to be the hands and feet of Jesus here where we live.
It was an encouragement to receive the appreciation of one of the mums who said "Thanks so much, you guys are sunshine here. The kids loved it and I've got lots of friends that want to send their kids to the next one!" She also said that she liked that we were teaching the kids about God and the creation and things. God is at work!
So we say a tired goodbye to this week of excitement and look forward to seeing God continue to work in and through us here in Querétaro.
