Mexico City Christian Expo

The first part of this trip was to attend a Christian Expo in Mexico City from Thurs, Oct 22 through Sunday, Oct 25 as an exhibitor with EvanTell. This is the first time we have even heard of it so Armando and crew did not know what to expect. It's been an interesting few days! There are MANY rules they have to follow as exhibitors and they have to be there at their booth from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, which was a bit shocking to hear, but I guess many people come even that late!

Many ministries are represented, including some pretty weird ones--one particular one was giving out evangelism tracts as well with some pretty scary pictures on them.

Their booth is fairly hidden; however, God has brought many people their way. In fact, by Friday night, they were down to the bare minimum as far as evangelism tracts and other material. Many are very interested in bringing the evangelism seminar to their churches! One church leader that Armando talked to wants him to come in January. Armando told him that if he can get about 40 people together, he can fly there on a weekend...the guy said, "How about 200 people?"

Please pray for Armando's health. He has had a sore throat, but it may also be a combination of having to talk so much. This morning (Saturday), he was supposed to be at a church in Mexico to give the You Can Tell It evangelism seminar, so hopefully, his voice held up. I'll find out the next time he calls me.

Till next time, thanks for all your prayers for Armando and the whole EvanTell team!!
