December 20, 2008

Tonight we went to a church service at the church in Via Italia. Except it was a service with people attending from most of our local churches. There were about three hundred, or so, in attendance. The service was held outside under the stars with a guest speaker from another city that was a friend of one of our pastors. The service started about 7:00 and ended about 10:00. You probably won't believe us but it was a little cool being outside tonight. Many of the pastors had spent most of the day setting up for the service. Setting up the lighting, the sound system, constructing a stage, and bringing chairs from many of the churches. After the service we had to take all the chairs, sound equipment, etc. back to the various churches. Got home around 10:45. It was a good night.

The emphasis of the message tonight was the churches reaching their communities. This was really exciting because that is what we have been discussing among the pastors - reaching our communities, departamento (State), country, and the world. So for the churches to hear this from a minister from Honduras was great.
