When we think of Gerald, we think of the tall, swaggering, amiable owner of Wilkesboro Hardware. He loves people, and loves events which draw people together, especially when food is involved. Gerald has been mucho macho, moving wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of cement from the mixer to the pouring place. However, on this particular trip, we have seen a softer side of Gerald. See photo at left.
I would like to go back to Sunday, August 5, when we attended a service at the Rock of Salvation Church. It was a lovely experience with truly humble, sweet people. Our mission team was warmly greeted by a handshake from each of the elders and many of the children. We participated in the service by singing three songs in Spanish.
Children squealed with delight and played among us as the service progressed. When we asked to take their pictures, they clung together with happy faces in a perfect pose, then ran to see their images on the camera screen. It delighted them, and heartened us.
I was so proud of Ben Trawick as he represented our mission team and NWPC in talking to the congregation. He pulled together three seemingly unrelated readings which he heard for the first time with us and molded them into a sound sermon. It was something to witness.
