Mexico: Special Delivery

Saturday night we delivered our church's gift boxes to everybody (kids and grown-ups) at the mission church of Iglesia Kerigma, our "sister" church in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. But first the mission kids put on a Christmas program, and Pastor Chuy and I, along with my daughter and her guitar-playing friend, sang "Feliz Navidad." The crowd stood and sang with us and clapped along, rocking the house. When we finished, they yelled for an encore! So we quieted down and ended with "Silent Night." They sang in Spanish and we sang in English, just like I imagine heaven will sound, with voices raised from every tribe and nation.
