Praising a World God!!

What a joy it was today to worship the same God in another country and in another language! This morning the team attended the morning worship service of the Talca church. The worship was amazing. We presented the Talca church with gifts from Centerville Community Church (a picture of CCC and a picture of our team) symbolizing our partnership with them in Christ. The team was recognized and Pastor Dave gave the message. It was a wonderful time!

After a meal at the church we traveled about 1 hour out to a rural outreach ministry of the church. The gathering takes place in a beautiful countryside where poorer people from the area walk a distance to sing praises and hear the Word of God. It started with a children's service singing kid's songs. Our group then performed a skit and followed that up with a craft and recreation time. The kids who came loved it. After that, we had an adult service with more praise singing and a powerful testimony from the outreach leader, Senor Nunez. After this, the gracious people served us some dinner. Another special time for the team.

Tomorrow we begin the help on the construction. It will be another busy day--a great day serving God with our friend!!
