the more...

Hello Everyone,
Hope you had a great day! Here´s the more I promised;

May 14 to 18
Week two on Campus went even better than the first. We saw more brothers and sisters come to Christ, shared the power of the Holy Spirit with Christians and set up events for the week. We had talks in classrooms, a lunch for the leaders of the political groups in the law faculty, more talks on ethics, values and leadership, set up a table with info on campus for Christ and did more initiative evangelism. We had many opportunities to follow-up with students who indicated they wanted to talk more about God, though only about 1 in 3 show up to their appointments with us. Even though it seemed a bit discouraging at first, we soon saw that God had bigger plans like bringing other people into our paths or giving us the opportunity to build into the panamanian students. On friday of this week we had one girl show up for follow-up. Her name is Gladys. She told us how her mom was catholic and her sister and brother in law were Christian and she was torn between pleasing her mom or her brother in law and sister (whom she lives with). She told us how when she went to Church with her mom she felt preached at but when she went to church with her brother in law and sister she heard how Jesus was making a difference in people´s lives. And she wanted that, wanted to be close to God. We shared the gospel with her and she prayed to recieve Christ. She was so happy she had finally found how to know God personally like the people in her brother-in-law and sister´s church. We invited her out to church on sunday and she was there waiting when we got there. Please pray for her as we meet up with her again and talk more about living the Christian life.

Today we went to the Old Panama ruins. They were so beautiful! The government has started restoring the old Church and it´s really quite amazing and the view from the tower is breath-taking. We took lots of pictures and spent some time just admiring God´s creation and the amzing ways he gifted mankind to make such amazing structures. We also visited the museum and market place. We spent the afternoon with our Panamanian friends, shopping and taking pictures in the mall.
