Our Agape team is doing a fantastic job teaching on Living like Jesus - Self Control. They have a lesson about Peter cutting off the ear of the priest and a cute skit, but the craft is so awesome. We are making ears!

Please continue to pray for our communities. The rain is back in full force and overflowing several bridges and flooding several of our villages tonight, including one we were in this afternoon. They expect the worst to pass around 3 am. Unless the rain subsides and the 2 bridges remain intact, we will not make it to our two Bible clubs tomorrow. Before we left the ministry center this evening, we put everything off the floor onto tables. We also found a front loader to make a berm to prevent water from coming in under the door. God is in control!

Sunday night service was down a bit due to the people working because of the Holiday, but the Word of God was preached and the worship was sweet. Patrick from Agape Baptist shared the Word of God and our leader, Andrés' girls led worship. You could really sense the spirit of the Lord moving.

It’s Christmas gift bags packing time, 1600 to be exact. We even have Christmas music playing. Most of the children in Ecuador do not get Christmas gifts for Christmas so this is such a blessing for them and a special treat. Last year one of our little boys in one of our village clutched his little trinket bag and exclaimed “this is the happiest day of my life!” While we give out the little Christmas gifts. Most importantly, we share the gospel of Jesus Christ and the reason why we celebrate his birth: He is our savior.

Problems with the internet, problems with the projector and the rain did not stop 144 people from coming out tonight for the movie! It was a little delayed, but we were able to show the movie and afterwards they all heard the word of God.

Last Tuesday we knew we were shut out again on our normal every other Wednesday children’s Bible club near our house. But God opened up a door in another really poor community. We held the club in an abandoned building left by another missionary. It was full of pigeon poo and feathers, and lots of dirt and debris, but within minutes the team had it swept up and 91 people showed up to our first Libertador Boulevar children’s Bible club with less than 24 hour notice. Now that’s another guy provision. The children from our club in which we were shut out of a building for the fourth time will go to our neighboring Bible club.

The children in our communities love getting little gifts at Christmas. Last year, one of our little boys in a very rural Bible club exclaimed, when he got his little cellophane decorated bag with his little trinkets inside “this is the happiest day of my life” as has he clutched his little bag close to his chest. It may be a small bag of trinkets, but in a country where most of the children do not receive presents at Christmas, it’s another great way to show the love of Christ. Prior to giving out the little gifts, we share the gospel of why we celebrate Christmas because of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This team was instrumental in helping to prepare everything that will go into the bags by unpacking and organizing all of the items so that the next team will be able to form assembly lines to pack 1600 little Christmas goodie bags.
