Today my group and I had the opportunity to both feed and interact with an impoverished sugar cane village. In the morning we went to JUMBO, a Dominican Wal-Mart equivalent, and spent enough pesos that they had to shut the register down and start it up again. In the end we brought and enough beans, rice, pasta, tuna, and other things to feed 66 families. Along with passing out the food, we were able to share testimonies and pray over the families receiving the food. After that, we did our program and simply spent time playing and conversing with the children. I got to know Luiz, a sixteen year old boy from the village, a little bit and I was a little surprised about what he had to say to me. He did not tell me about his ever present hunger or lack of commodities that I take for granted, but about how he longed for the salvation of the people in his village. The Spirit of God was clearly seen today through the joy expressed in the children of Olivares sugarcane village.
P.S. Happy Birthday Dad and Tyler.
