Serving Our Savior in Central America: Dia Del Nino

El Dia Del Nino, or Kid's Day (October 1st) is a very big day in most Latin American countries, including Guatemala. It's similar to Mother's or Father's Day, but for the children. Iglesia Bautista La Gracia (Grace Baptist Church) had a special event to celebrate this day in Ciudad Vieja. We asked permission to rent the biggest building for events in the city, but the owner refused to rent it to us - he insisted that we could us it for free! Members of the church helped divide candy, tracks, and invitations into 100 bags to give to the first 100 children that came. Rhyan handed out flyers in the park, and we all help set everything up that evening. When we drove up to the building, there was a line of kids waiting for the program to start! Over 400 people came!! We couldn't believe it! Rhyan performed gospel magic (magic tricks that portray Biblical principles), and gave an invitation. Over 100 people accepted Christ! What a great blessing and opportunity for the church in this community! At least 300 tracks and invitations were handed out as well. We are so thankful to the Lord for blessing that special day and for all the help from the members of our church!
