Our trip to Ek Balam was again upbeat and productive. We delivered tooth brushes and tooth paste for the village clinic, and they will be given to villagers that have their teeth cleaned and checked by a visiting dentist. We met with one of the local families where Bill presented them with a water / filter system for their home. If this is used by them and we see that others will use them we will try and present one to each home in Ek Balam. The lady of the house told us of how her brother had become very ill as a result of contaminated water and that they themselves could not afford to purchase bottled water. She said the water filter system is an answer to her prayers. Praise the Lord!
We also presented a "how-to" Small Group seminar where we had 4 attend. They now have 2 homes doing small group. A young man attending has a real heart of his village and wants them to start learning more of God and what his word tells them through the Bible. He was given a Bible in Spanish and plans on sharing his teachings with others.
We had 42 in worship service yesterday with new attenders. We are planning another "Beach and Baptism Celebration" September 5th. We have 3 awaiting baptism. Our Little Lights Children's group made stick fans for our church yesterday. They presented a few ladies with the fans at the close of the service and they loved them. More will be made the next couple weeks.
