Happy Resurrection Day!
Easter is not celebrated here with a focus on Christ’s resurrection as it is by Christians in the U.S. Instead they celebrate and focus on Christ’s crucifixion. We try to explain the importance of the resurrection as proof that Jesus was not just a man, but also God. So on Saturday night (before Easter) we invited the community to watch the movie “Hope,” which is the story of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection and the hope we have in Him. Some new families attended the movie, and we will be visiting them soon.
On Easter Sunday some friends from our church in Che Guevara visited the Santa Martha church to worship together, share a meal and then enjoy an afternoon of sports.
“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.’ ” John 11:25
