This last weekend was busy with lots of recruiting! On Saturday, we went to the town of Ouidah again because there was a Baptist celebration for young adults, and we were able to perform a couple dramas and tell them about DRIME. We performed on the beach which was pretty cool (it was far up the beach and not close at all to the water, but still...)! And we had about 10 people talk to us and take applications after we performed so there was definitely some interest! It’s fun hearing the reactions of people here when we perform dramas! Every time Jesus heals someone in a drama the crowd will clap and cheer!
Then on Sunday morning, the 3 of us and the leaders went to 2 different churches to share and perform during their services. Again, about 10 people came and talked to us at each church. Now we are just praying that these people stay interested and come to our information meetings where they can hand in their applications and get more details about how DRIME Benin will work.
On Sunday it was pouring rain all day and guess how we got to those two churches...motorbikes! Yeah, we were riding on motorbikes in the pouring rain!!! The rain hurts when you are on a motorbike – the speed makes it slap your face pretty hard!! :) Luckily it wasn’t raining too hard on our way to the churches so we weren’t too wet, but we were absolutely drenched when we got home! I was riding with Rachelle, one of the 4 DRIME Benin leaders, and as we were trying to get through a HUGE puddle with rain still slapping our faces she joked, “Anything for ministry, right?” And I replied, “Yes, we have to make sacrifices for ministry.” :) hahaha!!
