Spa Day at Rio 3

A few weeks ago we had a team of women come down to serve along side us in Monterrey. I had been feeling since the week before, that God wanted us to do something special for the ladies at Rio3. With a women's team to help out, this was my chance! So we organized spa day for the ladies at Rio3. 

Manicure table. The women in the black who is crying was actually receiving Christ with Gloria in the moment this picture was taken. She continued to cry on and off all day as God blessed her and poured into her heart. Praise Jesus! One more in His kingdom!  
We had so many more women show up than I had planned, but somehow God multiplied our supplies and our hands. We gave each woman a manicure and pedicure. For many this was the first time in their lives to be pampered this way.

Pedicures in action

Happy faces 
The Rio ladies absolutely loved it! It was beautiful to hear the chatter and laughter as they took a short break from their difficult lives. Smiles abounded as the ladies enjoyed being treated as princesses.

Turned out there were several women on the team who had worked in spas or sold beauty supplies. They were in their element serving in this way. 

Intentional one-on-one time while giving a manicure.

Praying before eating snacks together

Gloria sharing her testimony with the ladies 
At the end of our time together we served the ladies healthy snacks and Gloria, a women from Columbia serving with B2B this summer, shared her testimony with the women. It was a powerful time. The whole day turned out to be God-ordained, from the ladies who showed up, to the team serving, to Gloria's words to the women. It was a great day and a great way to bring His kingdom to Earth. Glory to God!
