I always encouraged her and prayed for her, but she seemed to remain the same. However, on our last trip to the streets in late May we were again in Canela Square, and it was on this day that she called me to ask if she could give me a message. The message was a note that she delivered into my hands. I asked if I could read it there and she said yes.
DRIME Paraguay recently had the opportunity to travel to Argentina to take part in a large conference with people from many South American countries. Today, one of the leaders shares his experience.
Before we had a chance to begin, a young man went straight to talk to one of the DRIME members saying that he wanted to quit drugs and change his life! He was crying as he shared with us.
After the Base Leaders Summit took place in Brazil, we had the pleasure of celebrating alongside of DRIME Brazil as they celebrated 10 years of ministry! Today we want to share with you a little bit about their history so you can see what God has done and how he has used them to make Jesus known.
Last month, our leaders from 8 different countries teamed up to go to the streets to do what DRIME is known for - making Jesus known through drama on a busy street corner! In Porto Alegre, we had the perfect opportunity to share with many people at the same time. Here are some of the highlights from our ministry time.
Jessica told me that never found the love that she needed in her mom and one time her mom had told her that she never wanted to get pregnant and have Jessica in her life. As a result of feeling unwanted, Jessica tried many times to end her own life.
She told me that she had liked the dramas and the message we gave. She told me, "It is very good to young people to do that." I replied that we did this not just for youth people, but that this message of hope was for all.
"I didn't want to stop here at this plaza because I have to get home...but it is so hot today, I just had to rest for a moment here in the park. How fortunate that I stopped when you were presenting and came to talk to me…"
At the end of our conversation he said, "Before today, I didn’t think God still cared for me – but now I know He does."
I thank God for this opportunity of seeing God at work in a mountain village in Mexico.
