Wednesday, our second day of class, was another wonderful day. The students arriving at the Makarios school were excited for another day of learning and spending time in community. For the second day in a row it’s been evident that each student is growing by leaps and bounds in Christ and their love is the love that has been poured out through Christ. The Austin Stone group again participated in their three separate classes (activities, crafts, and story). The classes went really well, with the students eager to participate and learn. I continuously blown away by what God is doing on at Makarios and how the kids are continually being shaped into Godly children. Wow…He is truly amazing!
In the evening, the Austin Stone group and Templo Biblico participated in a basketball game against a championship team from Montellano. We were excited to play in the basketball game, but we were even more excited to see what the Lord was going to do by bringing the community together. The game was supposed to start at 7pm, however, there was no power in Montellano so the beginning of the game was delayed for about an hour. After the delay and jumpstarting the backup generator with a car battery, the game began. Thankfully, we had several guys from Temlo Biblico who kept the game competitive. We played full court, and it was very hot! It was a fun, semi-competitive game with great sportsmanship. The highlight of the game/evening was at halftime. Ryan was able to give his testimony which was also translated in Spanish, to the people attending the game. It was such an awesome way for us to spread the word of God and what He’s doing. The crowd was gracious and genuinely engaged when Ryan was speaking. I’m excited to see what God is going to do in this city.
