Day four gifts of the spirit

"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone." (1 Corinthians 12:4-6 ESV)

Today at Centro Escolar LifeLink the words of this Scripture manifest themselves in the people around me. It seems that God has provided a little of everything we could possibly need to complete this mission successfully. It has been truly amazing to watch how each persons individual gifts have blended to become something so much bigger than just one person.

Today I watched as team members led worship sharing their gift of music, while others shared their testimony and their love for Christ.

Some used their gift of art to create a puppet stage, puppets and to write a script for a puppet show.

Others used their gifts to complete the plumbing of the new bathroom and to help paint the newly constructed sections of the school building.

We even got to witness the children's gifts as they presented the schools gymnastics program.

So many gifts - all of them empowered by God.

To end our day we were given another gift, an invitation to dine with the Tingles in their home. Wayne and Megan have been amazing hosts and tonight was another example of their gift of hospitality.

Each of us has been blessed by God with an abundance of gifts and this mission trip has proven to be one of those wonderful blessings from God.

Enjoy the pictures!
