La Lagunilla Street Campaign
Last Saturday (Apr. 10), all the pastors and most churches of Emmanuel Presbytery had gathered together for an evening evangelistic campaign in Col. La Lagunilla. It is the way to officially launch a new missions. According to the event coordinator and some other locals, this colonia is a well-known risky and dangerous area in town. “It is just like Col. Antonio Barona,” says pastor Hector Abarca (El Nazareno RPC). However, nothing happened to us during our event for God's angels had camped around us.
Since a week ago, we’ve visited this area to post the invitations here and there all over the colonia. We did a prayer walk scattered in groups. We tried to cover the entire colonia. In doing so, we met a number of Christians and found some Christian churches in the area, which was a comfort.
Around 6 pm people started to come and little by little filled up the small soccer field at the corner of colonia’s sports area. “Somos el pueblo de Dios …”. We sang and sang and sang a lot of praises. We also showed them a Christian movie and each church presented a mini drama and sketches. I(Abe) preached on Mephiboset’s restoration by the mercy of God(David). We harvested about 15 souls for Christ as we made altar-call at the end of the events. Praise the Lord!
We were all so exhausted and tired as we went to bed around 1 am next day. But God gave us a very very good night rest. Thank you God!
