Two adults, two college students and four teenagers recently invaded our home. The five days and nights they were here was fun, exciting and invigorating. I had forgotten how much energy teens have, they never sleep!! Nor need too!
The plan was to show the Jesus Film ( children's version of one hour) as many places as possible around Madrid. Contrary to Latin America, permission is needed in order to show the film in public places. With much prayer and investigation we were able to get ?library, teen activity center and local church without any expense. We had hopes of showing the film to the residents of a nursing home where we have been ministering for over a year. The residents were excited and wanted to see the film, so did the staff. Our contacts there has left a good reputation. We thought it was all set but a few days before the teams' arrival, the director said NO. We were disappointed by not discouraged. We knew that if we prayed He would take care of the situation.?
On Monday we arrived with expectations of a changed mind, but that didn't happen. Instead we spent our time meeting and chatting with the residents. Communication really loosed up when the teens started acting out Christmas songs. The residents would sing, then the teens, back and forth we went and as they say laughing all the way. Hank even gave his cowboy hat to one of the residents who offered to purchase it.
Over 110 people saw the film for which we give thanks. One hundred and ten people now have been exposed to the gospel. We pray this seed will take root and grow in their lives.
