Another day in and around Ensenada. We had the opportunity to explore the community and the area around Ensenada again today - similar to yesterday but flipping the two groups.
Half our team grew in their understanding of the area around the Envision center and half ventured into the densely populated city of Ensenada. from the overview we could see the tight shack style community, the expensive gated townhouses near the over look and the cruise ship. The contrast of people, home, economics and values was stark. We enjoyed our time and spent some good time in prayer. I was encouraged by the heart for people demonstrated by all our students.
The students have been growing together in community, developing deeper relationships and laughing.
God is stretching us in the way we see people that are different than us and helping us see the similarities.
This evening we took some time to visit our team that is staying out at the Oasis Boys home. The 30 minute ride away from our busy streets was filled with beautiful mountains and some interesting attractions - a waterslide built into the side of the mountain, a camping facility, complete with ATV rentals, a zipline and a more. This community is so diverse.
Our team at Oasis is doing well and will report tomorrow evening.
We spent some time this evening practicing our puppet story for the VBS programs tomorrow evening - the students are getting better with each practice. Please be praying for our programs tomorrow evening. We will run two church services - working with the adults and the children. Our hope is that we can communicate that we need everyone to play a part in bringing the Gospel to everybody.
Thanks for checking in.
Here are a couple pictures of our students with new friends, playing and praying for the city.
Peace,
P Scott
