Watching God move over the tree planting project this morning was amazing. Our family joined the team from Everett as they walked around Los Robles, stopping by different homes to ask if there were any prayer requests for families. The first home on our walk was occupied by a mom with seven children. She shared that her husband died a few years ago and she was feeling very lonely. We surrounded her in love and prayed for her and all her needs. She was so blessed by the lemon tree we planted near her home. We asked the Lord to bless the ground and produce much fruit to provide for her family. You should have seen her face and spirit after we prayed. Incredible! This scene was repeated many times throughout the morning.
Mango, lemon, custard apple were all planted around the batey. As we continued on more and more children came out to join us and ask for trees for their families. This project connected all of us with God's love for these people and in a very short time relationships of trust began to be built. The tree now provides an opportunity for pastor Juan Jose to connect with each family as well. see pastor Juan Jose with the white baseball cap in the picture)
What an amazing few days we've had here already!
