We just concluded Thursday in Cotui. It has been a great week with the team from NY.
They spent Sat and Sunday without me but the schedule was great for them. Sunday they had a special open air service beside Milagros house. Hundreds of children and adults were there. A pastor on the team preached, several others gave their testimonies and there was lots of music. They also did a walk thru the community stopping to pray with people and sharing their testimonies.
Monday through Thursday we worked laying concrete blocks for 2 of the classrooms. It was blistering hot in the full sun. The women had almost a hundred children each morning for the VBS program. It was a wild time but when they shared the stories about Noah, Abraham and Adam and Eve, the kids were attentive and quiet.
This team includes people from three churches. We also had two men here who had been part of the church who sponsored the first 13 VTI children in 1997. They had never met their sponsored child before so it was a real emotional time for them.
