Avon and the Gospel

This year we wanted to begin a new outreach on the missions trip. We hired a female translator so the women in our group could have an oppurtuninty to go visit women in San Felipe where we are building the homes. Yesterday as I was working at site 4 a lady that we had built a home for came and invited me to come to her home that afternoon. We got Phil Hartwig...yes you heard that right to drive us to her home. Three women in the group plus our female translator went to visit her. She sells Avon in the community and as we sat in her new home she showed us some products from Avon. We all bought a perfume from her called Latino women. We were all laughing about that together. Karlta our translator also gave her a manicure. While she was getting her manicure finished I asked her if she attends church. She explained that she goes to the local church up the road from her in San Felipe. I then asked her if she knew Christ. She said she had never accepted Christ into her heart. We told Karlita today is the day. Karlita gave her the gospel message and we had the blessing of leading this women to Christ. God uses everything to share the gospel..... even an Avon party with women in a tiny village in El Salvador.

Oh by the way Phil¨s new name is Felipe.
