Update from Gus:
Hi Friends! Thank you
for your prayers! We just finished up
the first work week with the short-term team that’s here. They did a bunch of patching jobs, primarily
fixing up one of the walls of the Sunday school classroom at the church called
“Libertad”, because it was leaking really bad and flooding the room during the
rainy season. (Not a very inviting situation to have little kids in!) So, the team worked hard and it’s looking great
now, as you can see in the photos below!
This church was the first one in our movement here in
Chile
and has special meaning for me personally.
You see, I was 15 years old, living on the street, a depressed drug
addict, and ended up going to a concert at this church even though I’d sworn
I’d never set foot in a church again. But
God had a plan, and none of my party plans for that night worked out, so I
ended up going to this church, hearing great music, and listening to a testimony
from an American guy whose life sounded strangely like mine, except that now he
had hope because Jesus had changed him.
And on that night, God touched my heart and I felt compelled to make the
biggest decision of my life and give everything to Him. It was a long process after that,
and many more miracles, but that night at that church is what God
used to start my conscious walk with Him.
So, this team may have “only” been working on fixing a
leaking wall for most of this week… but God knows what little boys and girls
are going to be in that room over this next winter, warm and dry, hearing about
Jesus’ real, personal love for them for the first time! No job is too small or unimportant with a God
that changes the ordinary into extraordinary and the common into supernatural!
