Francisco is Natalia’s uncle. He opens the Catholic Church in the center of Aningas every Sunday night, and leads the service. Tonight, his two children came out to Sunday School at the Galpão.
And, as we were singing, several new kids came in and sat down. There were two benches filled with new little faces. And they listened and took their verses home with them to learn.
So, our Kids’ Festival last week helped us to make new friends. It takes time to build relationships with people. Especially when you come from thousands of miles away and look and talk differently. But people always seem to know when you genuinely love them when God is in it. And when God is in it, it is good. It’s all about relationships. Jesus said it.
‘And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30, 31 NASB)
