Evangelio de Juan

Just over a week ago, a few of my worlds met. A bunch of people from my church joined people from my Chilean family's church, along with a handful of folk from four other churches. Then we all headed off to one of the bigger hospitals here, under the direction of Gail, my fellow SIM missionary. This is the seventh time that a group like this has got together for Proyecto VIDA (Project Life). The idea is to make it round to all the hospitals in Santiago (and there's a lot!), leaving a Gospel of John with all the patients there on the day we visit. So far 2704 Gospels have been given away, of which we were responsible for 410. As part of the visit, there's time to stop and have a chat, share the news of Jesus if someone would like that, or pray for them if they are willing. It was a really special day, the sort of day that reminds you what it's all about. The volunteers shared some beautiful stories afterwards, including the news that six people received eternal life, one of whom was a lady who was close to dying.

 Correction: 1704 Gospels have been given away. Still a lot!
