The "Look" is what we continue to see on the faces of lost people when they hear a Bible story.
We just returned from a very short trip to Costa Rica. We were thrilled to bring Nick and Kris Doneff (ReachGlobal missionaries) and Santiago Curbelo (Miskitu pastor traveling from Nicaragua) with us, who helped us teach the stories of Noah, Call of Abraham, Sodom and Gomorrah, Sacrifice of Isaac, Exodus 1, Bronze Serpent and Nicodemus.
We were happy to see how the young leaders of Iglesia Nueva Vida in the community of Los Guido are using the Oral Bible in Sunday School, outreach events and VBS programs. Missionaries Mark and Meg Kuzdas have fostered an atmosphere of "develop, empower and release" with their young leadership team in the barrios surrounding San Jose. Learning Noah and the Flood can be challenging - but pictures can really help.
A high point for us was demonstrating the use of Bible narratives as we went door-to-door in the community close to the church. There is nothing like a story to connect with people!
... and they come out of the woodwork to see John's interactive gospel presentations.
Pray for us as we plan upcoming trips to creative access countries.
