How’s that for a title?
Either it’s true, or Dean Milley is pulling my leg. Considering that other Peruvians at the dinner table didn’t correct it, I figure this was not an instance of which he was pulling my leg in his Newfie accented English.
I’m at his apartment right now while he and his other guest/ministry director left for church, and since I was waking up from a nap when he asked me if I wanted to come, I declined, thinking something else was going on. Funny how sleep or lack of it does that to your mind.
So I’m sitting here listening/watching to the streaming live footage of the Florida Healing Revival. I also unsuccessfully attempted to talk to my mom over Skype for mother’s day. And now, after a relatively busy few days, I’m just chilling alone at the apartment where I’m at now, and thought I easily had time to post an update since I don’t know when my next opportunity will arise.
But this will have to be quick and brief.
As the pictures below indicate, I got to preach to a youth group last night at the Fresh Oil Church (I forget how to pronounce it in Spanish, but that’s the name). I don’t know what else to say other than it was exciting, and my interpreter was very encouraged about the whole affair and thought the youth were very captivated by it. I preached primarily out of Romans 8 about the creation groaning for the revealing of the sons of God, and correlating it to this generation that God has been waiting for. At the end, one of the leaders there gave an altar call for people to get saved or rededicate their lives and four people came forward. Praise God!
Today I went with Dean, Nina, and Sherry–all newfies (which means I was outnumbered in my proper pronunciation of the English language)–to an English church this morning, where a church out of Florida operates a satellite church here and puts on a DVD from the church back in the USA. It was in a movie theatre. It was pretty cool. Other than the fact it was about the marriage bed, and NOT as singles-friendly as they insisted at the beginning. I am all for talking about real issues in church, but I can’t say sprucing up your sex life with your spouse was a very appealing topic to me nor is it even where I’m at in my relationship with Christ. But it had a cool feel to the atmosphere, and the free gift they gave to first time visitors was a 10 soles gift certificate to a restaurant that apparently has a franchise close to where I’m staying. So praise God.
Well, Dean, Nina, and Sherry are back and in a moment everybody’s leaving to go somewhere for ribs. I don’t want to miss out, so thanks for reading, and please keep in prayer the potential to speak to another youth group this Saturday. I’m awaiting confirmation about it, and the possibility to teach at Ron’s Bible school–this will happen, but I have to make sure not to overlap it with something else that day.
Blessings, and fire on your head.
