"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of comapssion and the God of all comfort, who comfots us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. " 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Yesterday Hope, Maru, Meme and four others from the Rio took a prepared meal to Rio 3 to serve the people there. It was quite the experience seeing the women and one man prepare a meal for 300 and travel across the city to serve it to a community they knew nothing about. Well, Meme had been there two other times to see the ministry site and talk with Olga the woman who leads the soup kitchen. God was good to us as he lead us there safely, we were about to serve about 150 people and even spoke to a family or too as we "toured" the destruction. I asked one family what it was like when the rains came. I asked if they were scared. One ladies answer was quick and confident. "No, I wasn't scared, when you have Christ in your heart, you don't need to fear." The other women spoke how the church there (its the soup kitchen and church that Jim and Betty champion for B2B as they support Olga) was having services and serving three meals a day. Meme, Benny, China, Perla and Beto were exchanging experiences of how the river wasn't always a friend to them as well. As I listened I remembered 2 Cor. 1. How God gives us comfort so we could comfort others with the comfort we ourselves experienced from Him. The day was long and full of images I don't want to forget. But these ladies and one man returned to their home full of the Joy that comes with serving the Lord and sharing in His comfort.
