So we're at the zoo and not seeing any of the big attractions - but we did see giraffes (but the ones in Kenya were much more majestic since they weren't behind fences). And we saw these little guys - makes me want to watch Madagascar real soon!.jpg)
Love walking around with Pastor Ramos though. We are waiting for a couple from our group to catch up and he stands to the side of the path and starts preaching! Telling people what it takes to be saved and to repent. It was awesome! Who knows what seed was planted in those few minutes of him speaking.
We have service tonight at church so no outreach tonight in the parks. I did find out that last nights "street meeting" was in a park known for gang activity. The atmosphere beforehand was very dark and oppressive, people of all ages were scattered around the park. But after the last skit (the young adults did a skit to Carmen's The Champion song) people began to gather around and listen to the gospel. There were many who came forward during the alter call and many around the park who were ministered to by the congregants. Phone numbers are taken so the church can follow up with them, get them involved in a church and let them know they aren't alone. The emphasis is always on a personal relationship with Jesus - not getting involved in a "religion".
Agape Christian Center is raising disciples in their midst to go out and preach the Good News to the nations! God is using them to reach the hopeless and defeated in their 'hood. Telling them they can have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
