City Park Invasion

Last week a large group of Castlleros wearing red shirts (King’s Castle Kids) gathered in Mendoza at the foot of the great Andes Mountains for the Argentine Assemblies of God General Council.
On Thursday, October 6, they decided to invade the main plaza of the city of Mendoza. With their dramas, mime and interpretive dances they attracted quite a crowd.



They asked me to bring Felipe. As always, Perfume, the skunk came out first (almost invisible in my hands in this picture). Missionaries Shari and Kim Babcock serve as the national directors of “Castilleros.” Shari, who herself is an excellent ventriloquist, did the humble task of holding the suitcase for me.


Once again Felipe got to do what he likes best… sing and talk about Jesus in public places. Click on this picture to check out the smile of delight on his face. He sang his favorite chorus, “I have a Friend, His name is Jesus.” When he asked the public to say the Name of his Friend, the place literally exploded with that Name that is above every name, the Name of Jesus. Then he told one of his Bible stories.

Afterwards I took a few moments to tell the public about the wonderful Gospel of "New Beginnings.” Jesus offers to reset your odometer to zero! He calls it being "Born Again."
