we've successfully made our way to Naco, Arizona. We've survived full flights, the Houston airport, and the long drive to Naco. Allow me to say, it is breath taking out here. The hills, the mountains, colors, and even the distant rainstorm is a beautiful reminder of the creativity and work of our Lord. It's easy to forget how vastly different, yet wonderful, the places that God created.
I can also say with no exaggeration, we love it here. All of us. We already adore the people. So far we've made it to Naco, and this morning we had the privilege, and I do mean privilege, of worshipping with Naco Baptist Church. Our group hung out and taught the students during the bible study hour, and we played one song during church. Which was 'How He Loves'.
I was truly moved by the authentic worship, humble prayers, and fellowship that took place this morning. The presence of the Lord was tangible as we sang out in Spanish and English. During prayer time, the people lifted their prayers out loud. I was moved when I after the prayer time was over, and the next worship song had begun, I noticed multiple people still on their knees in prayer.
I believe this is the heart of the people of Naco, there are lost here. Many who need Christ. Many who are focused on fun and pleasing only themselves. There are hurting people. Lost people. But as we discovered, God is already at work here. Setting the hearts of his children ablaze with passion and love. We are honored and blessed to come along side the people of God here.
We ask that everyone would be in prayer for us this week, especially on Wednesday night. We are leading the service here, it's labeled a youth service, and I (Brett) will be preaching and we all will be leading in worship. We are asking God to do amazing things and change many lives that night.
Much more to come!
