possible to drive on if we had not rented a truck...The location of the family we were about to visit was nothing I had pictured. The houses in the area were all lifted off the ground so that when the rain came the house would not be washed away. The walls of the houses had spaces between each board...so that you could see the outside from the inside of the house...You can only imagine how wet it must be when it rains. The path that we had to take to get to the family´s house was made of logs (not very sturdy ones!) ....If you fell off the logs you would most certainly end up in the mud!!
On this day we set out to help one family...God had a much bigger plan though...we ended up helping 5 families. The first famliy we met with was a family of 8...living in a very small house. The mother was a widow and by her rugged stature you could tell that she was a very hard working lady!
The second family was a famliy of 4. They invited us into their home and we shared with them about the saturday outreach service. They were so excited!
We were not able to go to the third family´s home but the lady of the house was so excited to hear about the saturday outreach service and was very excited to also meet the pastor (Carlos Moyas). She expressed the need for a pastor in their area and how seeing pastor Moyas was an answer to prayer.
The fourth family was not home because they were out working so that they could provide for their family...This family´s house was like nothing I have seen before...it reminded me of a small shack...and there ¨kitchen¨consisted of a couple logs for a fire...
The fifth family was a famliy of 5 children who were alone most of the days...with no one to take care of them....
Each of these families God provided the means for us to help. How cool it is to know that God´s plan for the day (week, month, year) is so much bigger and better than we can even comprehend. What an awesome God we serve!
