Friday, Power Group, Week 3
We started out the day as we always do, worshiping and praising God in song, then Brian talked to us about ‘teachable moments’ for ourselves as he shared the story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10:17-22. We need to be continually reminded of not making idols, whether it be work, money or even ministry. Bob then gave a brief description of the projects, highlighting the De Los Angeles house, where sons Jimmy and Juan will be made honorary Power members for all their hard work. Today a group of us went to visit the local prison in Acuna, where numerous men stepped forward to accept Jesus. Our van went to finish up construction at a public school building, where we taped the drywall, hooked up lights, calked and painted the exterior. Back across the border at Faith Mission, we had lunch, then got together to honor Allen Ehlers for his 53 years of dedicated service to the Lord in Del Rio and Acuna. Then we were on the road again. Our plans were changed due to the forecasted rain for tomorrow. We stopped in Laredo for dinner, but then continued on down to McAllen, where we will spend the last 3 nights of our trip, in between going across the border to Reynosa and Hildago for projects and putting on a festival at Refugio Orphanage. It was a long day. We arrived at the hotel at 11:30 pm. Several of us stayed up for a prayer meeting after that, lifting up needs of individuals, families and friends of the group.
