Beach Day and Beans Multiplied

Today the team and I went down to the beach in Pochomil, Nicaragua. When we first got there we walked the community and invited them to the "God Party" at 12:30 at a local pavilion the team rented out. At the God Party the team did acted out the Prodigal son story and Kory presented the gospel to the attendees. We estimated that there were 350 locals in the pavilion this afternoon.

Following the drama and message we got the opportunity to serve a meal to all the people that came from the community. The meal consisted of beans, rice, and a hot dog. The locals were very excited and smiling from ear to ear when they received each plate. I had the opportunity to pass out the beans for each plate. At first, I was giving out rather large portions to find out that the pot I had was the only pot we brought so I sized the portions down some. I did not think there was any way possible that I would be able to get beans out to everyone left in the line. But God took care of our need and when the last person went through I passed out the last spoon full of beans! Not one scoop left nor a hungry person!

After the meal, we did a few crafts with the kids from the bible stories about Noah and Abraham. Following the craft time the team had the opportunity to enjoy the beach for an hour. This consisted of swimming in the Pacific Ocean and horseback riding on the beach. Grayson and I rented some four wheelers and I ramped a few sand dunes during our ride! The Nicaraguan four wheeler couldn't quite handle this Kentucky boy.

We are finishing the day off with a bible study and some worship here at the house. A praise to end this post, following the drama a girl came and spoke with Kory and Jay and told them through tears that she was the prodigal son. She had been involved in sin and did not think she could come back to God but the drama opened her eyes to that today and became my and your sister in Christ this afternoon! Praise the Lord!
