Wednesday
Wow, what progress we saw today…. Thanks for your prayers. Radio team today was Katie, Haleigh, Brandon, Thomas, and Amanda. Great job and even played a few songs for Nicaragua. Today was a new town and a town that Diomedes is trying to start a church in. The students prayed that we would have spiritual eyes and ears to see what God is doing and also that the people in Cinco Pina would have eyes and ears that God opens to draw Him to them. Well the kids were already very confident from the last two days and ready to work. All I can say is wow. Many got to work their testimony or the gospel or both into their talks in the classroom. At least 3 teachers thanked our teams for coming into the school and sharing God with them…can you say AMEN…sounding like Allen Rice but it is so exciting to see God reveal Himself to us and to these teens. Later we went back to the school which had a great lay out for volleyball, baseball, soccer and basketball. The PE teacher even stayed to help us. Interesting on that one is that while Mike was sharing with him, his son was led to the Lord by Rachel…again….WOW. Kim is estimating that 50 people came to know the Lord today. What I am sensing is that God is about to make a BIGGER move. We go to Santo Tomas tomorrow and this is a town that has been oppressed and dark. We had success two years ago and starting relationships and the church is stronger. I sense that these students have seen enough success that they are bolder than ever. They are faunching at the bit so to speak to get after these kids of any age. Pray tomorrow that God shows Himself in a mighty way in this town. I pray that this town sees God in a bunch of teens from Edmond, Oklahoma.
Allen, we are greatly encouraged by what is going on in Wales and we are keeping up with you through your blog. We are praying for you all as well. Bless you brother and a big Hallelujah to you and your group.

Our hearts continue to be blessed and filled as we read the blogs each day. We are touched by every story and can’t wait for more. Praise God for all the souls being saved and for lives being changed. I’m so grateful that our students are able to see God at work and join with Him in it. Our prayers and thoughts for you all continue.

Thanks so much for all the blogs. It is such a blessing to hear from the kids themselves all that God is doing!!!!! Checking the blog site is better than getting up on Christmas morning as a little kid. Hearing how God is moving, using, and teaching our youth is like a taste of heaven. Each blog is so moving. Let the kids know they are constantly in our prayers. Anxiously awaiting the next blog. (Sorry, I can’t get enough)
Love you guys.
