Tastes Like Chicken

     The day started again at 7am with devotions led by Duane on Romans 10 on faith and witnessing. After breakfast Duane, Paul and Tom went to do construction for the morning and into early afternoon. It consisted of mixing concrete (by hand) and pouring bedroom floors in a very poor house where a family member was disabled. They also purchased a mattress as his was wet and in disgusting condition.
     The rest of the team visited the marketplace which is full of people and the sights, sounds and smells of Azua (like watching chickens being "processed"). It's always a learning experience sometimes filled with spiritual moments. It's also a great way to pass out tracks as about 450 were.
     Those that went to the market then travelled to the Haitian village of Pastor Wilfredo to encourage them and the feeding program the team funds throughout the year. The kids sing for us and it's like seeing family that one time of year. The team then went up the road with Wilfredo to another church and feeding program where once again a room packed full of kids praised Jesus. After the two feeding programs the team (minus Jim and Phil who were on the radio with Nathaniel) went back for lunch at Wilfredo's of yucca, rice and chicken.
     A visit to the disabled group in town was next and turned into an emotional time for both the team and those we visited. Being disabled is a burden in any country and in the DR it is especially difficult. Tom, Shawn and Jamie shared a message.
     Supper was a chicken cookout at a house near our house owned by one of two Christian brothers we have gotten to know the past week. They have a very nice place on the hillside and were very appreciative of our work the past week and years so we were quick to take them up on their invite.
     The Jesus film was shown near Wilfredo's village and was very well attended. Shawn gave the message and Dan talked to the young men. The night ended with prayer, music and dancing in the park.
     A reminder that Shawn and Chloe will be on the radio at 10:30 Tuesday on 89.1ternura. Also take a look at the facebook page for pics.

God bless until tomorrow
