Tasha is leading the lady in the blue shirt in the sinner's prayer. Pastor Osvaldo is praying in the foreground. The "house" was made with bamboo walls and cardboard wallpaper, a tin roof and a part dirt, part plank floor. Bedroom, living room and kitchen all together. It is observably true that the poor people of the world receive the Gospel with less argument and more willingness.
I am leading the sinner's prayer through Pastor Pedro, my partner and interpreter, for Julio and Clever. They are brothers, both with epilepsy. Their mother must care for them. The family business is a small bodega, run from their house. They came to church that night and they did NOT respond to the public invitation, which is good! That means that they understood that they had already received Christ during the morning!
We had eight more decisions for Christ that night at the church service. I preached on the Lost Sheep. See the girl crying? She began to cry as the invitation began and continued until we had completed the service. She and another lady were both in tears. I am praying for each one of them, as is the custom here.
