It's all about light in the eyes. That what I would tell someone for photography. But isn't that life? God gives us glasses to see people the way He sees them. Fabulous, For He loves His creation.
So I served in Nicaragua this summer. And though seeing is better than reading. You can click on the photos to make them larger and scroll through. (don't forget to read the captions.)

Heaven or Hell, I figure it's all about perspective. |

I was challenged by their faithfulness to pray for others even when it was scorching hot. |

MY FAVORITE PART: Bible Distribution |

This was a moment God caught my eye, reminding me to be like a kid, relax and let
Him take care of things. Be like a kid. I love how He reminds us. |
|
Bibles to homes who didn't have one. |
|
We met some Christians along the way and got to pray with them. |

An example of prayer to children. |

I also got to see people get a heart for other people and nations being their first time out the country. |

Latin culture has such a sweetness to it if you peek around corners. |

Tugging on his mom's shirt He asked for a bible, I asked Him: Do you know this book has adventure in is. Stories about David who killed a Lion, Samson who was very strong, Paul who was very brave, I can't wait for you to read it. |

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. - Matthew 13:44 |

Babies with witch doctor bracelets. |

We explained how we can trust in Christ and don't need things like this. We were usually allowed to remove it. :) |
|
85 year old man who praised God for his new bible! |
|
He says "Can you explain all this and Jesus to me, I don't get it". It was music to my ears.
Our response was, YEAH... (and we went on to share) He went on to accept Christ. :) |
|
God told me to call Him out, so I did. I left him with, someday you are gonna need help and cry out. Pray you remember Jesus and cry out to HIM. |
|
Chips anyone... |
|
Absolutely loved getting Bibles to people who didn't have one. |
|
Typical home we saw with hard working hospitable people.

The dramas caught people's attention. |
|
I was skeptical having seen many Christian dramas. But I found myself moved, embarrassed to find my mouth hanging open. Needless to say they were powerful and used by God. |
|
Faith like child!!!! |
|
They were not into hearing it but we shared anyways. I wish they knew the truth. And pray their eyes will be light soon by love. |
