Bogotá, Colombia
A Ministry Outreach


On Monday, my team helped out a church to go to an isolated community that needs Jesus. We had been praying for this event for several weeks and all of us chose different groups to support--activities with children, cooking, nursing/ dentistry, beauty care (manicures and hair cuts), and evangelism. I wanted to be part of the evangelism, but when I arrived, I felt that God wanted me to serve. He put it in my heart to give hand massages with the manicurists. Every person who sat in front of me was an opportunity from the Lord to share the love of Jesus. God gave me wisdom to share the gospel, using the gospel bracelet (with the wordless book colors), and He gave strength to my hands to give massages from 10 am to 2 pm. Then we had lunch for 1000 people, along with some choreographies. It rained off and on, but the people stayed around and many heard and saw and felt the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. It was a good tired at the end of the day!
