SMO Ensenada - Day 3

This morning we got up early and gathered in the center for a time of prayer and devotion.  It was a blessing to hear David and Aleah share their vision for Ensenada.  We then got to pray for our time here in Mexico and meditate on God's Word.  After breakfast and some down time we split into two groups and some of us headed off on a prayer walk through Ensenada.  One group went to the park where we had an opportunity to meet, talk to and pray for children and families. It was amazing to see how God led us to people who had needs that only He can meet.  The people were very friendly and open to talking to us about their hopes and needs.  We then walked up to a high point in Ensenada where we were able to see the splendor of God's creation and continue to pray for the people of Mexico, specifically Ensenada.  We also prayed for the local pastors and ministries.

The other 1/2 of our group went on a tour of downtown Ensenada where they got to hear about David and Aleah's heart for the city.  They also got to pray over the city and pray that the Envision team would have the opportunity to witness to people and develop relationships.  Much like Pittsburgh, you can find affluence and poverty in close proximity.

The teams returned to the center to refuel with another fine meal.  Then we split into three teams and visited homes of people with the pastors from the local churches.  The families welcomed us into their homes and shared their testimonies with us, and we got to share some of our stories with them.  We were richly blessed by the testimonies of the families and humbled by the way that God allowed us to minister to them through prayer and fellowship.  We serve an awesome God!! We look forward to another day of ministry tomorrow.
