Communion Night and a Breakthrough

When you are living in the second poorest country in this part of the world, inflation really hits the people hard. For example, rice and beans are the staple of the Nicaraguan diet, however many people can't even afford beans now because they are just too expensive! And gas or diesel, forget it! I just filled up my truck last week and paid $140.00. It has been crazy here ever since Daniel Ortega was reelected as president. And now, to make things even worse, we are experiencing a public transportation strike. So you can imagine the stress and heaviness that the Nicaraguan people are living under right now.


As we started our communion service last night, the burdens that people were carrying was making it very difficult to enter into worship. The heaviness so thick in the sanctuary that you could literally feel people's worries and fears. However, when our children's pastor (Adolfo) got up to pray, the Holy Spirit begin to move and immediately the heaviness was lifted and hands began to go up as an act of worship all across the sanctuary. As always, God's timing is perfect....."come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

The service ended up great. We had about 2,000 people in attendance and our administrator, Ottoniel, brought forth the Word.
