The Village
Most of the houses in La
Ermita are made from cement blocks and plaster. The people live very simply
in two to five rooms. Some have electricity, but many cannot afford it. Animals
including chickens, pigs, horses, donkeys and cows roam freely through the village
and even in some people's homes. During the Alabama mission team's three days
of visits in the village in July 2004, 90 people prayed the prayer of salvation and
many asked when the church will reopen. There is a lot of work to do for the
Lord here and you can be a part of it. |

Alex, our interpreter from Jimmy Hughes ministries, left, shared the Gospel with Gabriella, right, and Marie, second from right. The two women prayed the prayer of salvation that morning and they both received a New Testament with Psalms in Spanish so they could read the Word for themselves. Alex told their sons to remind them to read the Word and talk about it. |

Her name is Maria and she cares for
her grandchildren who live with her in her four-room home. She said
she couldn't read the type in the Bible because her eyes needed
glasses. Emily McFee's father John, who was also on the mission,
gave his reading glasses to her. |
