$23.65!

We had a very full weekend with E.C. WorldFest on Saturday and Lawn E.C. Church on Sunday. WorldFest was a great opportunity to connect and reconnect with many people, as well as to share about our heart and vision for reaching Spaniards with the Good News of Jesus. Rachel had more "I knew you when you were just a little girl" experiences with some older folks there who remember her as a child, and one woman even had (in hand) her family's prayer cards from when she was just a baby! We were hugely encouraged by the folks at WorldFest, and we hope they were encouraged by us as well.

We spent Sunday morning and early afternoon at Lawn E.C. Church, and we enjoyed our time of worshiping and sharing with the congregation. However, the highlight of our Sunday morning occurred when the children of the church (about 5 of them) sang a few songs and afterwards gave us a Skippy peanut butter jar (minus the peanut butter) filled with coins and dollar bills that they had been collecting for us over the past couple months. All the pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollar bills totaled $23.65, as you can see in the picture above. We were touched by these children's efforts on our behalf, but, moreover, we hope they can begin to understand that because of them, Spaniards are going to know the true life found in Jesus Christ alone.
