Day 5: Market, Schools, and hospital - Alexx and Brennan

Hello peeps, this is Brennan and Alexx broadcasting from ch-ch-ch-chile! 

Cam and Brennan share the Gospel with a man on the beach.
We are now at the halfway point of the trip. We've been having a crazy awesome time evangelizing and talking to the locals, and even some vacationers visiting from all over. Alex and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and ran Forrest ran. Our first stop was a local market, handing out approximately seven hundred magazines to everything that had a heartbeat(the whole shebang). After, we visited a public middle school for an hour, and did the usual witnessing and handing out of magazines. After we finished our presentation, we played foosball and ping pong with the kids, and got destroyed. Next, we hopped on the bus again and visited another middle/elementary school. We handed out magazines, but did not stay there for very long. We stopped for lunch at Papa Johns aka (Papa Juans) aka ((Padre Johnos)). Next, we stopped at a huge public hospital where we split up into two groups. Seven people went to the wards, and the rest handed out magazines to people waiting in the ER.
Kelti, Alex and Cam along with Geovani (one of our translators)
head into classrooms and share the Gospel with the students!

 I(Brennan) felt God was telling me to be selfless, and let God use everyone in the missions trip to do his work, with me not feeling I need to do something very notable each day to feel "accomplished". Me next, (Alexx) I feel God is telling me to not put my focus on what I think I should be saying, but what he wants me to be saying to these people we meet. At our last school I got to be the one to pray, but wasn't 100% on what I should say, and once I was into it the words just seemed to flow out and the kids were all super excited for us to be there.


We would appreciate if you could pray that the seeds we plant be watered, and that they would all be sown in good soil, not the rocks or by weeds. Also the people that were visited in the hospital will take the magazines home to their family's, and that if any family's were struggling with hope that they will come to peace from today.

Team debrief after the day of handing out scripture in a market, sharing the Gospel message and handing out scripture in
2 schools, and finishing the day handing out scripture in the lobby of the hospital while a select few got the opportunity to share the Gospel and pray with some patients in the emergency ward.

  1. Continuing to pray that the seeds planted will be watered- for God’s continued work through words shared and Hope magazines distributed.

  2. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your honesty. We are called to be obedient and then it’s Gods Holy Spirit who calls people to Himself. It’s not about our performance like you said Brennan. So proud of you all as you minister to those in need. We never know where people are at. Keeping you all in prayer as you wrap up your week.
