El Evangelio

El Evangelio = The Gospel

The gospel is the whole reason we moved to Guatemala.  The gospel is the reason we can live and breathe and have hope for a future with Jesus. Gospel = Jesus.

One of my goals when I started learning Spanish was to be able to share the gospel in Spanish without help :).  I have been working towards this for over 7 months now.  It was a joy to be able to do that this morning at one of our schools here, the carpentry school.  This year we have begun having regular devotionals in each of the schools.  We are focusing on three words that we want the students to learn and apply in their lives.  The words are integrity, love and respect or integridad, amor y respeto en Espanol.  

This week we have been talking about the word love and what that means and what the Bible teaches about love.  I shared a common scripture from John 3:16 and shared how Jesus sacrifice for us on the cross was the greatest act of love ever.

Thanks for praying for the ministry and students here.  We are praying that God will do a mighty work in each of their hearts this year and many will come to know Jesus and his love for them!
