This is a picture of Pastor Marciano & his wife, Norma. We arrived in Playa Azul, on the Pacific Ocean, yesterday, and contacted him right away. He speaks english, and he volunteered to help us make contact with some of the people we wish to minister to. We made up a schedule, & we will let you know so you can pray with us:Saturday we will take all of our shoes to three places. The orphanage where 44 boys live, and two more contacts that the Pastor wants to go to where the need is great. One is a brand new church with 18 new Christians! He wants us to speak to them, and encourage them. Then on Sunday morning at 9:00am (8:ooam S.C. time), he wants Peter to share a message from God's Word with his church in Playa Azul. In the afternoon, we hope to meet up with Noe's (from Lake Wylie) family. On Tues., we will give out shoes to Pastor's congregation. On Wednesday, we will visit our dear friends that we have had contact with for the past 4 years, who bring children into their home so they can receive shoes and Bibles. This time, the pastor will go with us, and be our interpreter as we share more about Jesus with them. Today, Pastor Marciano went with us to make this contact. We had to drive about 40 miles to their home, which gave us time to hear more about how God called him to this area, and how he is thanking God for sending us to encourage him in his faith and struggles as a pastor. We sang "How Great Thou Art" , and he praised God for His many blessings and answered prayer. What a treat for us as we saw how God is using this humble man of God. We look forward to the days ahead, so keep up your prayers for us, because we can actually FEEL God's presence as you partner with us! Thank you for your love and support, your comments on our blog, and even the weather reports!! Last night it was 67 degrees, and during the day, it went up to 90! Wish you could join us!
