God is working

The other day Neva and I went up town to get out of the house as we were starting to get a little tired of the same old four walls. This means that I can have a cup of coffee and talk to some of our Guatemala friends.

One of our friends after the usual Hola he ask how to translate a short phrase from Spanish to English. The phrase was Soneir por amor Dios te which translates Smile God loves you. We ask him if he understood and he said yes but he wanted to know more. Sounds like a bible story--yes? We talked a little more and reassured him that a member from his community would be in contact to study.

Acts 8:29 – 35
The Spirit told Philip, Go to the chariot and stay near it. Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “ Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked.
How can I, he said, “unless someone explains it to me?’’ So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
The eunuch ask Philip, "Tell me, please who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

Please pray that God will continue to work in this young man's heart and HIS word will be heard and understood
