Our first day in Edinburg was AMAZING! We went to a huge flea market in Mission, TX this morning and WOW you could totally forget you were in Texas! From chickens to furniture to roasted corn on the cob – this place had it all! A band was playing underneath a pavilion and agreed to let us be there “halftime show!” We had a huge audience and performed our dance and drama followed by a presentation of the gospel. Several people responded to the message and asked for prayer. It was so fun to see everyone really going for it praying with people all over the place! Lunchtime was the most delicious fajita tacos at the little “restaurant”. Absolutely authentic!
This evening we went to Dolittle Park a massive municipal park and one of our favorite spots from last year. It was absolutely packed! It’s Spring Break here too – and lots of families and extended families were in the park for the day – grilling, celebrating birthdays, hanging out together. There were more people than we have ever seen here before – the parking lots and playgrounds were FULL! WE set up right beside the main playground and went out inviting people to come to the dance and drama. When we started doing balloon animals and face painting with the kids – 50 kids immediately mobbed our guys! We had to eventually stop and brought them all over to sing SUPERHERO together and watch the dance and drama set. Again – a great response to the message and many people were prayed with.
All in all – 17 people came to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior today!
Please pray for us – this is the first mission trip for many of our guys and we are all really learning more and more how to share with people and be bold!
Jesus is Worthy!
