Street Meeting



The free gift of God is eternal life.
Romans 6:23

Mendez, Ecuador SA, 1958


The music would draw a crowd, and then my dad would preach. How brave and bold they were to step out in faith this way.

Mendez, the town where this picture was taken, is not in the Jungle, it is a coastal town. And the people are not Shuar, they are Spanish.

We did not ever live in Mendez, but I remember this visit. And my memories of Mendez are that the mosquitoes were terrible, the smell was terrible, the mud was terrible, the food was terrible… and it was hot. But the people were really nice.

Thought for Today

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls. ~Mother Teresa
