Sometimes God uses grief and heart-ache to turn us to Him.
The mission team from Elevate Church with the Aguilar-Oyuela Family. God did some crazy things in and through this team.
I’ve been learning that more over the past few weeks, especially through learning of the story of the Aguilar-Oyuela Family.
It was their son’s serious condition even prior to birth that led the mother to place her trust in the Lord. It was a miracle that he was alive, yet in his death last year at the age of eight, the effect of the miracle hadn’t faded.
A mission team from Elevate Church partnered with Great Commission Latin America to provide a new home for the family ($1500 home made of wood, sheet rock and tin roof). It was pretty unique getting to hang around an older group of people and see their hearts afire with God’s love (considering I’m a college student, not that they’re ‘old’).
The Lord really met me through the editing process of this video. It’s not going to win any awards, but I feel like I’ve already got what I desired from it through the Lord just breaking me and humbling me through having the opportunity to share the story of the Aguilar Family.
Please feel free to leave an comments, especially how a video like this might affect you emotionally. But all comments are welcome.
