Last Saturday we celebrated the 2 year anniversary of the soup kitchen in the Rio! It was a fantastic day filled with good food, fun, and fellowship. The comedor was packed out with people! We had worship, preaching, prayer time, children's church, slide show, and yummy arrachera!
The comedor filled with faces as we worshiped the Lord and thanked Him for the ministry in that place over the past 2 years.
I mainly help out with the children's ministry during soup kitchen Saturdays. Sticking with our theme of the fruit of the Spirit the children are doing an activity with a story that illustrates faith.
We had over 50 kids come to the class. Usually we plan for about 30. Here they are working on a craft about faith.
After the preaching and children's classes we all gathered together for an arrachera meal. It was delicious! Arrachera is a special meat that has been marinated and then grilled. It is sooo good. It was so fun to provide this meal for these people as it is typically expensive and not affordable by many of the families we serve. We also gave out elotes! Elotes are corn on the cob that have been boiled and coated with chili and mayonnaise. It is a Mexican favorite and often is preferred as a dessert of sorts.
Our great grillers who worked for hours to prepare the meat for us to eat.
Thanks to everyone who has helped support the soup kitchen financially and prayerfully over the past 2 years. God is moving and doing great things in that community. We are privileged to celebrate 2 years of ministry and thank all who have played a part. Blessings to you!
