The Day of Adventure

Wow! What a day! We started the day headed higher into the mountains than we went yesterday. Today we were going to 13,400 ft. an hour past the village we went into yesterday. It rained here last night so that made things a little more difficult. As we were headed up we were told in one of the cities that we could not make it up the mountain in the bus. So plan B! We rented a small bus and 2 small trucks and we all climbed in to those. What a ride.

When we arrived at the village we were greeted just like yesterday. We set up and began washing feet and sharing the gospel with the adults and children. At the village there were around 100 adults and 50 children who gave their life to Christ.

Then the trip down. We actually went down the backside of the mountain and even rented another truck at the top of the mountain because we did not think it was safe to go down in the small bus. So we all rode down the mountain standing in the back of small trucks. About a 2 hour trip . It was incredible. The beauty of the mountains, rivers, waterfalls etc. it was awesome!

Also on the way down we met up with a truck that was headed up where we stopped to use the bathroom (trees). We were able to give the children in the truck shoes and also share Christ with them. Almost all of them gave their life to Christ as well.

Please be praying for us tomorrow, especailly tomorrow night. We have permission from the Colonel to share Christ with the 2000 soldiers who are here on the base. That will take place tomorrow night at 7PM. Who would have ever thought this would happen? Our God is good.

We are continuing to pray for all of you back home too.

This is where we stopped on the way down the mountain.
Fire pit in the village where they warmed the water to wash the children´s feet.
