CCPR Dorado headed out to Rincon to get a lay of the land for our new church plant. It started out great with a walking tour of the town of Rincon. It has a warm welcoming feeling! Once we got back, someone on the group locked their keys in the truck (not me, it's impossible to do on my truck) we spent about 45 min trying to break into the car. Finally we did it! Praise God now we are on our way to the beach! Oh wait it looks like a thunder storm! Yup and it down poured! Spent about and hour or two at a local restaurant on the beach, Tamboo. Then is cleared up nicely. Spent the afternoon playing beach volly ball. Some local kids even joined our "game". Of course we had to hit the ocean too.
This was a key trip for our church. Leaders and board members from CCPR that have not been to Rincon were able to see the environment we will be working in and get a feel for the people.
I met a local guy named Ryan. He intrigues me because he was working in the storm bringing sticks to the woods in a wheel barrow with no shirt or shoes on. He was a work horse. He runs a kite and surf shop in Rincon. Total surfer dude.
This was about a 2 hour trip from Dorado.
Besides the fun we had, we were able to bring the light of Jesus to the area.
No one was using the vollyball court until we started playing. We were having fun and laughing then people started watching. Then they joined in. Once we left the court orders started to play as well.
I think often times we think bringing Jesus means physically sharing the gospel. When a lot of the time it is being the gospel.
Lets going out and be the light!
