So on Friday we’re having a huge open-air event with one of the ministries from YWAM Perth called Island Breeze (they’re a Polynesian dance ministry). They’re travelling around to each region in Mexico City, doing open airs and church services, so all week we’ve pretty much just been handing out fliers and putting up posters everywhere advertising for it.
Also, one really cool story. On Wednesday night, 3 of us went to the hospital by our church (the one that I’ve wrote about before). We went into the emergency waiting room, where all the families of the patients were. We went in to pray, and ended up meeting a couple of nuns pretty much as soon as we got there. We talked to them about what we were doing there, and they were really excited about it, so they got up and made an announcement to the whole room about how we were there praying for people, and how if they wanted prayer, they should just put up their hand and we would pray for them. Because of that we ended up praying for about 20 people. It was so cool to get the chance to pray for that many people, it’s really just another one of those things where you just realize how open the Mexican people are to God.
Also that night, we met with a lady at the hospital that we had met with the previous 2 weeks. When we met her the first week, she was with her mom, who was in the hospital. At that time, she knew that her mom was passing away, and that she had no idea how much time she had left. We prayed for her and her mom that week, and then when we came back a week later, prayed for both of them again. Then today we saw her again at the hospital. She said that her mom had just passed away that day. It was really hard to see how sad she was. We talked to her though, and she said that she was so glad to know that God was with her through it. She isn’t a Christian, but she said that every time that we would pray for her, she would feel God close to her.
