We were given the opportunity to attend a small
women's prayer meeting. We weren't really sure what to
expect, but Josue prepared a small message to share with them. Our bemo (kind
of like a taxi) stopped in front of a mechanic shop, and Blas had to go talk
to a guy to get him to open a gate. We went through the gate, down an alley,
took several turns walking past all sorts of trash, went down another alley and
came to a small little courtyard behind a few tiny buildings. We went into one
that had a round building about 5 feet wide and maybe 15 feet long. That's where the
ladies have been meeting!
What's extraordinary is that even though they are
meeting in a rundown building in the middle of nowhere, they are so on fire for
the Lord. They had an old, beat up, and out of tune guitar that they played,
and they sang at the top of their lungs to the Lord with it! We could feel the
Holy Spirit in that place and feel their hearts.
A few testimonies were shared and Josue got to
share his message. They loved hearing him speak and said they hadn't had anyone
teach the Bible the way he did. Regardless of everything working against them
in this place, they are on fire for the Lord!
Give thanks for them and for the
Lord working in there lives. Pray that their fires would not be put out, but
strengthened and that they would spread throughout the city!
-Alex, Josue, and Anderson (Embrace the Beyond)
