Tabarcia


Hey, just realized I never posted about our mini-outreach!

We spent a week in Tabarcia, a city about an hour from here, for a mini-outreach. It was so good to just take time off from classroom life and just go out there and live out what we've learned. We stayed at the Arbol De Vida Iglesia (Tree of Life Church) and participated in their activities.

One day during the week we spent time working in a church camp. The men helped remove and relocate a cabin while the women helped clean the main living areas and bathrooms. The older couple run a Christian camp throughout the year and receive 15-30 young people visit during their ministry.

We also helped out around the church one morning.

We spent time at the daycare running a program for the children involving songs, games, a drama, and a teaching from the Bible.

We helped a beginning ministry by painting, gardening, and digging the foundation for another room. This missionary family is working on having a conference center and a place to house missionaries on visits.


We also shared testimonies and stories and dramas during the three services they had during the week and finished off with Sunday School with the children.
