Today me Tim and Jesse met with two brothers from Jacksonville, Fl. Paul Bowman and his partner Ira. These men feel called to connect Church's with missions. I was happy that we had the opportunity to get to know them and establish a partnership as well. Paul is familiar with a family that lives in Villa Nueva. It turns our the we have been helping their kids with home work. I was able to learn a few things about the complex that I didn't know.
We took them to one of our favorite Thai restaurants just down the street from V.N. We all had a really good time!
While we were in the area we visited a grocery store geared to accommodate Muslims. It is always a real eye opener to go into places like this. Much more for people that visit here to see the community.
We also took them over to the Hindu Temple to see the largest of its kind in the southeast. This is one impressive structures inside and out.
All the detail work inside and out was done by hand in India and shipped to the US.
The custodian of the complex told us that it took seven years to do all the intricacy and detailed work the surrounds the entire temple.It was a fun day!
Just to update you...our home work help program continues to grow. We have also been able to share Jesus with several kids. We are so grateful that God is opening door to families there.
Please pray for us this week as we continue to reach out to lost and gang influenced kids.
We Love You All!!!
