DAY 3
This morning we ministered at Fundación Emanuel de Mérida (an orphanage) to spend time with the kids there. We played games at a park, crafts, pizza time, and performed our program / choreographed songs. It was encouraging to see that all the kids there were like one big family, regardless of their familial backgrounds, as well as how much they laughed and smiles, even when they’ve been through many struggles. God was very present in helping us communicate and still have fun through the language barrier!
This evening we ministered at a “free” hospital where people all over the State of Yucatán go for cheap healthcare. Because people are traveling from far away, they unfortunately have to camp outside the hospital. Since they’re camped outside, it’s hard for them to get good meals, so we provided them with a nice pancake dinner! God also gave us the opportunity to evangelize to and pray for them. It was also amazing to experience how open most people were to receiving the word of God and our prayers over them. Praise God that we gave away over 200 Bibles with the help of Gideon Bible Organization and translators with a Billy Graham group!
Our eyes have been opened to these new experiences and we’re incredibly grateful that God gave us the boldness needed to glorify him today through serving people in need.
