The Spiritual side of things

 

 

Hi Folks,

 

     The last couple of blogs I sent out were mostly about the logisitics side of our missionary work in La Miskitia.  They have been mostly factual and concise.

 

     I want to mention that what we are accomplishing on the Miskito Coast is inherently and intrinsically Spiritual in nature.

 

     Yes it's true that the physical needs of the Miskito people MUST be met.  That fact was brought home to us by the rioting that took place just four days ago in Puerto Cabezas.  The locals were "rioting" for roofs over their heads, and food in the bellies of their families.  After three days of demonstrations and rioting at the airport (our house is adjacent to the airport property) the Nicaraguan government met with the protesters to discuss their needs.  The poor people of Puerto Cabezas got so worked up that they actually stormed a Pulperia (7-11 type of store) and also a bodega (a storehouse) where the government had been storing grain and rice. 

 

     I am only mentioning those things so that you can see that their truly ARE physical needs that the Church of God and others are striving to meet.

 

    It is the Spiritual needs which are most apparent in Puerto Cabezas.  The power of God can bring this city to a semblence of civility! 

 

     Please join us in prayer that God will deliver these people from the burdens of sin, and free them to enjoy the Joy of living in His Kingdom!

Dios le bendiga grandemente a su familia y ministerio.
