Working Together, Growing Together

Monday's breakfast was a team effort, as John and Joel began serving the coffee.  We learned through the young rich man in Mark 10 about the need to be together of one mind with Christ. 

With all of the team members together to start our clinic, we work together to learn new roles, assist in helping our clients, and dialogue with our interpreters about their responses to the screenings.  We saw Christ to the compassionate friendship between two men, one having special needs.  We saw Pastor Junior using different visuals from beads to blocks to tell the story of Jesus to young children, young adults, and older men and women.  All the while, we witnessed smiles and gratitude from our new Honduran friends.  The way we are living our lives in La Paz mirrors the joy in we have in our hearts for this mission.

What else are we doing for fun at the end of the day?  Tonight, it was buying snacks treats to share with each other as we gathered for devotions.  Through conversation around Romans 8:31-39, we are reminded that nothing can separate us from Christ's love.  Through song, we shared that our faith is in Christ alone.  We are growing together to see God here in La Paz.  We are growing to learn more about ourselves as maturing Christians.  We are growing together as the family of God.
