Christmas Ministry in Travesia

On Sunday afternoon, December 12, after the church service in Manta, a ministry team from the church went to the village of Travesia where they serve each weekend. I was first to arrive at the cabin where the children gather. There were already more than 30 kids waiting. We all played games and sang songs. The crowd continued to grow after this photo was taken. The ministry team had prepared 30 packages of clothing for village families and had 200 bags of Christmas candy ready to distribute. They also gave a delicious meal to all who attended. I am very proud of the attitude and actions of service displayed by the people from our church who have made a commitment to this ministry.
