Well, the Mi Esperanza event is over.... yet, for some, it's only the beginning of a new way of life. We had 3 successful nights of Mi Esperanza in the home of Miguel Reyes and family. On Thursday night, there were 8 people who had been invited plus 6 "regulars". Most of these were family members who haven't yet felt comfortable coming to our Saturday night Bible Study. Rob said they were very attentive and didn't rush off like we expected. Miguel gave his testimony at the end of the program, then they had some good discussion. We wanted to make it as non-threatening as possible so they'd be more open to coming to our studies. On Friday night, 6 of the same 8 showed up.. then there were 9 more "regulars". I gave my testimony, then Sori (Rob's secretary) shared, as well. On Saturday night, we had 4 guests, then our family, Miguel's family, and Kathryn. We watched the movie (1 1/2 hours), and talked about it when it was over. We had no voiced decisions shared, but we told Miguel and Irma that it was the work of the Holy Spirit to change lives! Miguel's sister asked me for a Bible, so we bought her one of her own. She didn't have any idea where to start with her new Bible. I suggested that she read the book of JOHN first. Pray for her heart to be open as she reads! This was a WONDERFUL outreach event for Miguel and his family, and a great chance for them to share Christ with their families. We have no idea of the results in all of Mexico, but will share them as we hear. Thanks for your prayers during these days!!
