Saturday, Sierra, Andrea and I went with some of the youth and some of the adults from the church to Jodar. Our mission was distributing 500 tracts. Rain, wind and Hail couldn’t stop us although we did wonder. We arrived around 6:30 and found a light drizzle to welcome us. It had been in the 70’s earlier in the week, which would have meant that the streets at this time would have been bustling with activity and energy. Regardless, there was a fair amount of activity and soon the rain stopped altogether allowing drier tracts to be given out. We had 3 different tracts; The water of life, What Jesus did for YOU, and a love letter from the Lord. People received them gratefully, although some were hesitant and wondered if we were selling them. A few people flat out refused them but in general people were very easy going. One woman said, ” I have my religion with the Virgen and I don’t need another!” By the end we had not quite given out all 500 but, nearly. Darkness fell on the land as we left and we prayed that these seeds would produce some fruit. It was great to see folks actually reading them. Andrea commented, “I was so glad that I could give out some tracts to some young girls my age, they seemed like they were really glad we gave them to them.” This is a monthly activity for the church visiting different area towns each time.
This is one work we are involved with. Often we have little conversations with people as they are often very skeptical. It goes to show how important the friendships we are building really are. Pray for this as we are getting to know our neighbors and others around town. Thank you so much.
