After nearly a year of planning, the Illescas Campaign has finally begun. 39 Believers from 8 different countries joined together last night for the campaign, named "Illescas Amiga." (Illescas Friend). The evening was filled with logistics, getting to know each other, prayer, and worship. Today our act of service is to walk the streets and parks and hand out pamphlets on what you are supposed to do while walking your dog (uh, pick up after it). The ayuntamiento (city hall) has asked for us to do this as a way to help them out. Our goal - to demonstrate our love for the people of Illescas.
We are blessed to have been able to contract with a small, local hotel in the center of Illescas. Estella (the owner/manager) has been incredibly gracious and the entire staff has really worked to provide all that we could possibly need. We of course, are staying in our home - but the team is being well cared for! And yes, the meeting room has air condition - and since we are supposed to be 100 several days this week, that will be a nice break. Hmm, maybe we should sleep in the meeting room - we don't have a/c.
