One of the best part of being on the missions field that I’ve experienced so far are the moments when you realize just how big God is, and His plans are, and then you realize you are just seeing the tip of the iceberg. One of these moments hit me a couple weeks after being here, at the community dinner we have every Friday night, which is creatively called “Friday Night Community Dinner”. The concept is we invite all who want to come out to some free food with the sole intention of interacting with the community. We live across the street from the poorest neighborhood in Granada, so we normally get a good turn out. In recent weeks we have had close to 100 people show up, and we feed them all, and ourselves for under $20. Dinner is pretty simple, Gallo Pinto (rice, beans, onions?), eggs with tomatoes, Nica cheese, and bread, all prepared by one of the Nica guys who works at El Puente, Carlos (the handsome one pictured below). One night I looked around and I realized something quite incredible, At this table I was sitting at, there where about 5 different conversations going on in Spanish, English, and German, with people from all across the world and right across the street, all brought together by the love of Christ. What else could bring such a diverse group of people together other then God’s planning?
Please be praying for all of the relationships we are building, and thank God for his great plans.
