Woot! The conference is going awesomely!! The site is a previous cinema tucked away in a mall. It's complete with colorful walls and a running escalator. The main room is nice and huge, and about 200ish people attended. What an exited group of people! The songs were a blast, teaching them our sweet moves. ;) They totally got a kick out of it all, laughing and enjoying themselves. The group who asked us to come and are hosting the conference is ministerio CONELIN. It's great working with them. They have been working really hard to get ready for this conference and have decorated the place beautifully. It's an amazing team putting this together. Kristi did a fantastic job speaking all day. She kept the crowd engaged and exited, just like she always does. :)
Our host has been distributing Pro-Vision material to the churches in Venezuela. Currently most churches have been using the Lab de Lucas program. One church's childrens ministry has grown from 30 to 60 kids while using that program. She also told us that this is basically the second ever childrens ministry conference in the nation, the first being earlier this year. It's pretty exiting, and it feels like an open door. Lord willing, it will continue to grow.
Looking forward to tomorrow! Please pray for Venezuela, that God changes the nation!!! Woot!
Interesting tidbit: Bananas and Plantains. Lots and lots of them. At least half of our meals have come with a side cooked plantains. It's a fascinating flavor, definitely banana-like with some savory and the texture is similar to squash. In Mexico a banana is called a platano, but in Venezuela a platano is a plantain and a banana is, well, a banana. Confused? Me, too.
