Our first days at Ninawachi

Hello everyone!

We arrived safely to the Ninawachi Missions School on Saturday afternoon! As always, our hosts were very welcoming and glad to see us!

After dinner on Saturday night, we joined the local community for their church service. Our worship team lead a few songs in both Spanish and English, and Mr. Falkowski preached a sermon to help prepare our hearts for this Easter week. After the service, we had a great time fellowshipping with our borthers and sisters in Christ from Ninawachi.

Yesterday, we spent some time getting acclimated to our new surroundings and preparing for the week. After devotions in the morning, we spent some time preparing for the VBS we will be doing this week. In the afternoon, some students helped Jim harvest two bunches of bananas that  we will be enjoying with our meals this week! The highlight of the day was an afternoon trek through the rain forest to a waterfall, las cascadas del tugsi. What an impressive display of the beauty of God"s creation! The waterfall is about 120 feet high and, because of recent rains, there was much water.

Today we will be working in the morning digging septic tanks, laying cement, painting, and doing other tasks to help prepare the property for the new buildings they plan to build. In the afternoon we will split into 3 teams and visit 3 villages to put on our VBS for the children of the communities. Please pray for our safety and that God will speak through our team and touch the hearts of those we serve.

We look forward to an exciting week serving the Lord! I will share more updates and pictures with you soon.

'Mr. Petiti
