Today was THE big day of the trip, the day of the evangelism seminar. Just to give you a little background, through the recommendation of one of his mentors, Armando got certified with EvanTell, an organization founded by Dr. Larry Moyer, who has been teaching and training people a clear and simple and biblical way (a method) of sharing the gospel for 35 years. Giving an evangelism seminar was not Armando's original plan, but I believe it was God's all along. Through help from friends and lots of last-minute scrambling around, they were able to get the Spanish version ready in time for the trip.
The seminar was a success! Over 60 people from surrounding cities/churches came. Armando had some reservations at first because there were parts of the seminar that were different/contrary to what they have always known, but the material presented is thoroughly backed up by scripture. Well, everyone was very receptive and were thankful for having their eyes opened. Many of them even want to get certified themselves!
Armando wishes to thank you for your prayers! He is encouraged and very humbled by the experience of being used by God. Just imagine the possibilities, if those 60 people each presented the gospel to one person, then those people presented it to others...and from these little towns to surrounding towns and cities in a country that desperately needs hope. Please continue to pray that the people who attended will continue to share what they learned so the gospel will continue to spread in Mexico.
Armando is now in Acambaro and the pastor there has asked him to give the first 2 sessions of the seminar to the congregation. He will then be back in Mexico City Monday to continue the business portion of the trip. Again, please continue to pray...I may have more to report soon...
