Meet Jose Barrionuevo. (Photo) I found him worshiping last night at the Merlo church. He is a builder and leading a team of his local church members in building a well designed extension of the sanctuary that will more than double its capacity. Volunteer workers have been building with him for a year, mostly on Saturdays. Now it is almost finished. When I greeted him he told me this remarkable story: 24 years ago he was practically an invalid with a bad knee and could only walk with a special support cane. He claims that I went to his house and prayed for him and that he was instantly healed and gave his heart to Christ. He was younger then and joined others playing soccer for years. (You need to know that grown men here love to play soccer.) He has never used a cane since. Good job, Jesus! You did it again!
And check out this youth group! (Photo)
We started this Merlo church in 1977-78 with 15 hopelessly addicted drug addicts, pushers and young prostitutes in the middle of “sin city”… with a 20-month nightly tent crusade. Now the neighborhood has changed entirely and is filled with nice homes. Good job, Jesus! There you go… doing it again and again!
