One of the beauties of Nicaragua was being able to see first hand how God gave each person on this mission a task to complete and how all our tasks intertwined in His perfection to grow His kingdom. This happened again and again throughout the week and what follows is one many stories I have of how our tasks fit together.
On Wednesday, after a full day of seeing people at our medical clinic, two kids decided to follow Jesus. There is nothing greater to God than seeing His family grow, but what makes this story more awesome is how God let us be a part of it. As we were packing up clinic, a group of kids were playing on a swingset. Joey saw them, walked over and began swinging alongside them. Not too long afterwards, they took Joey and Roy (who went to capture the moment on film) into the woods for a photo op. The next thing you know, all of us went into the woods to get a soccer ball from Martin’s (one of the children we saw in the clinic) home and find a place to play soccer. Chris had given Martin the soccer ball earlier in the week. We made it back to the clinic and a group of us went off to play while others stayed under the clinic tents. Under the tent, a few of the kids gathered around David as he shared the gospel. Martin joined David in sharing the gospel and low and behold, two of the kids accepted Christ! God always knew those two kids would come to know Him. He is powerful enough to have done it by Himself, but He let us be the ones to love on Martin by treating him in the clinic. He let Chris be the one to give away a soccer ball, He let Joey be the one to swing and Roy the one to take a picture. He let David and Martin be the ones to speak. He let everyone witness His love in action, and for that I am thankful. -tina
