Tuesday (martes) in Cuenca

Hello Friends,

Thank you for your continued prayers. We can feel them here and ask that you continue to lift us up. Today has been busy and joyful.
The Paute team spent the day the day visiting new believers and discipling them. Liz was glad that she was able to travel up the mountain to Dug Dug and visit Rosa who she met last year and give her a Bible on CD. The catholic priests in Dug Dug have forbidden the people there to read the Bible. Liz was able to pray with Rosa and give her a Bible she could listen to since she cannot read the Bible for herself.

Amy was able to visit with Doris who she shared the gospel with yesterday. Doris prayed to accept Christ today and she began reading her Bible. Please, pray for this baby Christian who wants to understand who Jesus is in her life.

Marcus and Amy both found the children's ministry encouraging today. There were fewer children there today but the ones that were there were excited about learning about the Bible. When they left today most of the children could tell you what the colors symbolized. Yellow- the color of God who is pure and holy. Black - the color of sin which separates us from God. Red the color of the blood of Christ who died for forgiveness of sin. White the appearance of our hearts after we accept Christ and he purifies us and Green the color of growth as we grow closer to Christ.
How exciting to see the gospel of Christ in the eyes of a child.

M.J. shared that he was able to spend an hour sharing the gospel with a woman that is a Jehovah's witness and was glad to see that the truth of the gospel was affecting her even though she had many questions. Please pray for questions to be answered and for the salvation of this woman. Many people in Cuenca are Jehovah witnesses or have been affected by the lies of this cult. Please pray that people will understand the truth of the gospel and not the lies of the devil.

Many of our team tried cui (guinea pig) for the first time today. Amy has heard that it taste like chicken, but it does not. However, the joy of the experience adds to the laughter here and our days are filled with joy as we follow the great commission.

Thank you all for your prayers and support.

In His Steps
