1 Corinthians 3:4-9

"For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?

What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."

Rain, rain, go away...

Only Rogelio and Matt went into Jazmin today because of the constant rain. Although this was a change in our plans, God worked it out for His good. They met a man named Michael before they even entered Jazmin. Michael was friedly with them right away and struck up a conversation with both Rogelio and Matt. He then escorted them into Jazin and walked with them around the area, proceeding to tell them many things they otherwise might not have discovered.

There are about 150 tin shack homes in this area that is about 1/3 to a 1/2 the size of The Pines, for those who've been here before. For those who haven't- about the size of two, maybe three, city blocks. An estimate of at least three hundred people live there (this is only an rough estimate which we guess to be low and which we also think probably does not count children). Michael pointed out some areas to take caution in, but overall, claimed that Jazmin was pretty calm. There is one existing church which Michael said had about 25 adults in it. This is really the key we were looking for. In a area of at minimum 300 people, only a handful are attending the one and only church. The harvest is ripe...

Matt and Rogelio will be returning this Friday in the morning hopefully, find Michael once again, as well as begin sharing the gospel. It is our plan to return for the following three Fridays, sharing the gospel.

Please continue to pray for these days. Pray for God to use us, in all of our weaknesses, to share His Word and bring light to the darkness.

Thank you for praying today.
