God's Love

Day 5

Today’s activities focused around Jesus’ love for all of us. This has been an amazing journey and each day has provided endless opportunities for us to show our love for one another by following Jesus’ example.

Jesus a friend…

Sean and Pat spent their day in the trenches working alongside Antonio and Juan, (aka) “El Animal.” They used humor in breaking through the language barriers to build a bond with the workers.

Jesus a Counselor…

When Alicia, the Centro Escolar English teacher found out that Carl had helped with Wayne’s vehicle, she approached him for assistance. Carl went above and beyond the call of duty by advising her about the care and maintains needed, to keep her vehicle operating.

Jesus a Teacher…

Emily spent part of her afternoon working with students of Centro Escolar. The light of Jesus shone through as she taught the students a song using cups as instruments.

Jesus a Caregiver and Healer…

David took on the roll of Doctor today as he applied bandaging and band-aids to blistering hands from the previous day. He also gave us words of encouragement throughout the day.

Jesus the Leader…

Sally Jo, Dolores and Courtney lead the children in a sing-a-long of “Yes, Jesus Loves Me.” This song (both in English and Spanish) could be heard throughout the campus, as Carl & Gerald were whistling the tune while working on Alicia’s car.

Jesus a Giver…

Today Wayne, Megan and the people of Centro Escolar received a generous donation from one of God’s servants. This act of kindness allowed them to purchase a working lawnmower, tools, and equipment necessary, for Gerald to organize the warehouse.

All of these are examples of how Jesus tells us to live according to his word. When combined they deliver God’s true message. That love is and always should be the motivator for what we do.
