Today we had the absolute privilege of walking to the local Methodist church and worshiping with the residents of the neighborhood around El Ayudante. The neighborhood is extremely poor, with houses constructed out of whatever material is available - tin sheeting, concrete blocks, scraps of wood, etc. Despite the poverty, the church was full of smiling faces and people who were immaculately clean. We sang, clapped, prayed, and worshiped God in a welcoming place - we all are truly united in Christ! After lunch Melissa and Mark headed out to the local grocery store while the rest of the team went to the Children's Shelter to play with the kids. Our women's bible study group had a growing crowd of around 30 women tonight, and they sang loudly and worshiped with our group.
