e3's main mission is church planting by Equipping believers to Evangelize the lost so that we can Establish new churches. We are not a construction ministry or a humanitarian aid ministry, but we will utilize these ways of outreach in specific areas if it helps the main mission of planting a church. On this trip we had no set agenda to provide physically for the Ngobe people, but the Lord showed us the need, and gave us the resources to provide a meal, and a New Year's Celebration party (including pinatas)! This really opened up the hearts of the Ngobe people, especially the parents who saw us taking care of their kids and providing a fun time for them.
One of my team saw first hand how a little compassion can open someone's heart to listen...
"I joined the national leader [Moises Vega] and we wandered off into the village where we encountered a small boy trying to collect sun-drying cocoa beans before it rained. We helped him while unknowingly his mother watched. Impressed by our act of kindness, she invited us to her hut and shared some local cuisine with us. We planted the seed of friendship and invited the family to our main site the next day. She appeared the next day and I had the opportunity to share the EvangeCube [a tool used to share the Gospel] with her. I later saw her name on a tract, indicating a profession of faith in Jesus Christ."
