First Taste of Ministry

You would think it would be much easier to witness here, but it is not. This trip is unlike any we have ever been on. It is not planned to the T, but rather free. We are just people in Peru playing soccer. We have a schedule but that is it. I guess what I am saying is, you have to find the opportunities. Mantecana has been our first opportunity for that. We were supposed to have a Game here but it fell through. Instead we played with a bunch of kids. It was a real blessing. We asked them if they had ever heard of a Christian soccer player and the all said no. We shared a small bit with them and left. Today we found the kids again and played on their soccer court. As you can imagine this is kind of their hangout place. Anyways, we played with them for a few more hours and even though we did not lead anyone to the Lord, I know that it will open doors for the team who is staying in Mantecana all summer. I tell you this b.c it is just as easy here to sit and watch TV, to just stay at your house and enjoy the comfort of familar. But doors open when you step out, you find the gems that you were wishing for all along.
