Wednesday

Wednesday, February 27
After breakfast a devotion based on "God Moments" was given. Many personal stories were shared and more than a few tears were shed.

At 9am the team were at AMI to play softball with the older boys and play games, perform a skit, and feed the hundred or so younger kids. The team has been impressed with Pastor Benni who has only been in charge a couple of months.

Lunch at the Casa of ham and cheese sandwiches was followed by an afternoon break. Some stayed at the hotel while others went to the beach to mingle with the locals celebrating their Independence Day off.

Later in the afternoon the team travelled to Project 2C where the Nelson's have started a program. 200-300 kids were fed and enjoyed songs (to include Baby Shark). Like most stops, food packages and Bibles were left. The Jesus Film was shown here in the evening. An opportunity to share a message is never declined so a sermon on "Biblical Manhood" was given at the request of Genesis in his church which is also the home church of Daniel and Joel.

Somehow 13 Americanos, 3 Dominicans, 2 loud speakers with stands, the screen, cabling suitcase, and generator squeezed into a van meant to hold 8 for the trip back to debrief (gas fumes from the generator may have helped?) It was an "early" evening when the team got to the hotel at 10:30.
