Muy Caliente
It was a hot one today. For many of us, our first day on the job site. There is no doubt that God’s Spirit was with us. It was truly encouraging to see the unity - the flow among us throughout the day, whether we were organizing, hammering nails, painting, assisting - each member of the body did their part. After starting our day with an hour of morning prayer and a hearty breakfast, we were all ready and willing to work hard - with a common focus on relationships to the people we’re serving and to one another. Upon seeing four walls up at quitting time, we could all say it was by His strength that we accomplished the real work He had for us - not the buildings, as much as talking with the people, laughing and working with the kids and serving one another. This was our accomplishment. Muy caliente is Spanish for “very hot” - such is the flame of Christ that burns in our hearts for the people here, that unmistakeably, bright light of God’s love. Oh, yeah, and of course the hot Mexican sun ; ) Pastor Matthew signing off till tomorrow.

I pray that you all come home safe and remain safe as you work down in Mexico doing God’s work. Love all of you!!!!!!!!!!
