Report #2 from Barranquilla

I’m not sure that words can fully express the work that is going on in Colombia. God is in the business of reconciling people to himself . We are confident that God will continue to do this work. Today was another extremely hot day, but the work of the gospel was fruitful. My translator and national met a number of folks who knew nothing of a relationship with God…they only knew religion. There are a couple of good stories from today.

Eye glasses….I must admit when I was first asked to carry a huge box of eyeglasses as one of my pieces of luggage, my attitude was “not that great”. Today I was confronted with my own sinful attitude in that situation when a woman needed glasses in order to see the evangecube…and I just happened to have a bag of glasses in my backpack. Something as simple as a pair of cheap eyeglasses allowed the gospel to be preached.

At the service this evening, people came from all over the local neighborhood to have Brother Ernest pray for them. There were sick people and people with all kinds of issues, and as Brother Ernest does, he prayed in such a way that the people were brought into the presence of God. One quick side note…Ernest King is man on a mission from God…even at 83.

There are so many other stories...wonderful and amazing stories. These are just a couple that my I've been able to put into words so far today. To be perfectly frank, I don't really know how to put many of the things I've seen into words yet. My heart is still searching for words to describe some of the things that I've seen in just the first couple of days of work in these neighborhoods. Every person from Firewheel has their own set of amazing stories of how God worked, how God showed up, and how God showed off! - Robert Morris
