Wow!!!
What a great time we had with the Carlton Rivers group from Georgia. They arrived on Saturday at noon. We got a bite to eat then off to "33". They rested Saturday then they ministered to the Sunday school classes at our church. That evening they handled the worship service with one their team members singing and leading in the Spanish music. Monday we Prayer Walked all day. They were bushed and reading for some rest. Tuesday we got an early start. We headed to where they minister last year and they reacquainted themselves with the group. That evening we were invited to a public salon (public gathering place). To share with the children of the barrio. We puppets, and gave bags of goodies and tracks. That night we showed a movie. We didn't see any decisions but it was a good time making contacts and building relationships. We headed back that night which was about an hour drive. Wednesday morning we got up and headed to the capitol city of Montevideo. They took a 3 hour city tour. Ate supper and off to bed for a good night sleep before the long travel day on Thursday back to the States.
They were a fantastic first group. The minister and loved on the people. It was a blessing to all.
If all the Churches would get actively involved like this one. Wow what a difference we could make in the Kingdom.

Does it Matter?

Does it matter...?
I wonder does it matter what we do if God already knows what is going to happen. We evangelize but God knows who is going to follow. According to several of my friends. And the discussions we have at the end of discussing how we are going to plan an event. I hear these words "well what ever we do it doesn't matter because God is in control". I agree God is in control but does it matter/ I'm not sure who comes by my blog but if you have some thoughts please I would love to hear them.
