Ventanilla Update

In the last month the headmistress of 'Discovery High School' has been improving many areas of the school, and making the school function in a more efficient and professional manner.

The 'playground' with banners celebrating the upcoming Independence celebrations on the 28th and 29th of July.

Due to this Anna has stopped teaching the kids every fortnight and we have returned to a more spiritual oversight role as we continue to help Alfredo and also the teachers.

Therefore I went to the school last Tuesday with Chloe and Holly, as well as Chloe and Anna's dad Julian, and we took part in a very special service after the school day had finished. We arrived about 1 o clock and we were greeted by the kids at the school, who performed several songs and recited 3 proverbs from the Bible.This was as you would expect really touching and a great start to our time there.

The kids singing for us and Chloe after with them outside the school building.
Following the children leaving Alfredo preached, and then handed over to myself. I introduced the girls who bravely gave their first 'talks' in spanish, and Julian spoke about the difference what you can see with your 'natural' eyes and what you can see with 'supernatual' eyes. Julian said you could see the school as a wooden hut on sand (or the beach as I badly, but amusingly translated) or a place where faith is really evident and the future seen as a thing where God will provide. Julian also said it was amazing to see the developments in the school since his last visit. I then asked Alfredo what he wanted me to do Alfredo felt I should follow what I felt God was saying. Well I didn't preach my planned sermon but God led me to preach a short(ish) sermon and we then prayed and prophesised over the people there. This was a real blessed time as the presence of God was very strong and people were very touched. We then prayed for many people to be healed, and we saw more than 5 healings, including people who have had some of their illnesses for a long time.

Alfredo spoke to me after and said that he had never experienced a meeting like this, and it was a real blessing.

It is a such a honour to be involved in such a place with so much potential, that continues to grow and thrive, with nothing but faith in God.
