Waking Up To Jesus

The coffee cherries are quickly turning red signaling the arrival of another harvest. Meanwhile Armando has been busy working in the Lord's vineyard, or coffee plantation if you will. Using what he has learned from the Pastor's Conferences, Armando has begun a weekend devotional that is broadcast to the whole town of Lachiguiri every Saturday and Sunday at 5 a.m. What's the name of the program? Waking Up To Jesus! The thirty minute devotional is presented in Spanish and in Zapoteco and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Many people of the village struggling to find hope and meaning in their lives look forward to Armando's messages of living for Jesus Christ. Some who do not speak Spanish have been moved to tears hearing about God's love in their mother tongue. We recently gave an mp3 player to Armando loaded with the Audio Bible. Armando's first idea was to include it in the program!
