Two more days of ministry....
Greetings Holcomb Family! We´ve just completed another powerful, challenging and life changing day. Two more days of ministry here. They have been so amazing. This afternoon we spent at the church in La Quinta participating in a worship service for the youth there. You can just feel the presence of Jesus in the people of the church. They are so in love with their Savior. This evening after our supper we had a great time of praise and worship together as a whole teamof 35. We have come to really treasure our morning and evening praise and worship sessions. We really love our worship leader, Erik, he is a nativeNicaraguan who is a youth pastor down here. He is awesome. Very fluent in English and alot of fun. We come together to pray, sing and share what we saw God do during the day. The first couple of days the members from the different parts of the country didn't really know each other so we didn't share much. However, now that we have all been ministering and working together in these unbelievable conditions we are getting to be a really close group. We are brothers and sisters together in Christ who are sharing in this mission as one body. It´s so much fun to see what gifts and abilities God has given to each person on the team and how that specific talent was needed for this particular trip here to Nicaragua. I was asking our kids today what their favorite part of the trip has been so far and several of them said that it´s been the worship times together as a team. They have been awesome and they are what gets us ready for what each day will bring and the work that we have before us. Tomorrow will be a long day. We have a VBS in the morning and then will serve lunch to the children and then we will do a childrens festival all afternoon. They are planning on 200 to 300 children so we will be busy. These children are adorable and so desperate for attention. I´m sure it will be a powerful day. Keep us in prayer. Andrew wants everyone to know that he feels really bad he is going to miss the annual Bergman sweet corn day and hopes you all have a good time putting all your corn up. Also, Moms, I will make sure everyone takes their malaria pills tomorrow. We are doing well, staying healthy and getting along great. I just can't say enough about what a great group of kids we have. These are amazing men and women of God. I'm so proud of them and humbled by their faith and walk with Jesus. I wish all of you could experience this and be able to see the spirit of God working in our young people. You would be in awe of what incredible kids we have and how their hearts desire is to fully serve their Lord Jesus. We hope all is well at home. Are we getting rain? Any more hail? Linc wants to know how the senior baseball team ended up doing? Logan is going through sports information withdrawls. We love you guys. Thanks for your prayers.
