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.

Alex, Sunshine Wilhite, and Emily McFee visited with the woman sitting on the porch. She prayed the prayer of salvation and received a New Testament with Psalms.

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.
 


 

 

Maria Rosario, in the red shirt, lives with nine family members in the center of a neighborhood in the village - in a 4-room house. During the Alabama team's second day of ministry in the village, Maria Rosario and 16 others prayed the prayer of salvation on this porch.

 

 

She told Alex that for years
she had burning pains on her right leg.
They prayed over her and when they
returned two days later, she said the
pain had been gone since they had
prayed together.

That third day was supposed to be VBS with the children in the soccer field, but it was raining. Maria Rosario offered the use of her porch where more than 80 adults and children crammed together for the Bible lesson. Everyone prayed the prayer of salvation that day.

 


This 15-year-old girl has a 3-month-old baby. She lives with and is supported by the baby's father, however, they are not married. We are pretty sure from talking with her that she did not have any prenatal care during her pregnancy and hasn't had access to medical services since the baby was born.

The Alabama team gave her some candy and a couple of prayer bracelets, a New Testament with Psalms and shared the Gospel with her. She prayed the prayer of salvation that day.

 


 


More than 80 people crammed onto Maria Rosario's porch for VBS and everyone prayed
the prayer of salvation. Everyone also received candy, toys and the Gospel of John.
