We started our morning by attending the CCI (Cetnro Christiano Internacional) church service that is held here weekly in the hotel. It was an amazing worship service with a powerful and informative message. The service was in Spanish and they had audio translators for us to wear. Here’s a cute picture of some of our boys during the service listening to their translators.
After church we drove to a shopping mall and had lunch with a group of young men called the disciples. The disciples are ex-gang members that are now Christ followers committed to sharing their testimonies and impacting their community through rap and breakdancing. A couple of them including Manuel (pictured below) shared their stories with us at lunch. The lady on the left is Janet. The disciples are a ministry of Bridges of Hope which Janet founded and operates.
Bridges of Hope is partnering with Hands of Hope on this missions trip. Below is a photo of our group together.
Sounds like you are really meeting lots of different groups of people. What a blessing to you and them! Peace to you…
