Church members see miracles on mission trip

They didnt feed 5,000 people, but members of the Fremont Church of the Nazarene saw a miracle nonetheless.

It happened on a mission trip in Ecuador. The Rev. Tom Shaw, his wife, Becky, and 10 parishioners had gone to the South American country to show the film The Story of Jesus for Children in Spanish.

During the trip, group members were asked to erect a pre-fab church building on a portion of a cleared-out jungle area. Mission team members had brought enough food for about 15 people.

But then there was about 30 or 40 Ecuadorians around and we thought, We cant eat in front of them, so we shared and there was enough and with leftovers just like the miracle, said team member Patty Smith, referring to the Bible story of Jesus feeding 5,000 people.

It was just one of the miracles that team members said they witnessed during a memory-making fall trip.

One of the first miracles occurred in a South American airport. Team members were concerned about questions they might get in the foreign airport or that some of the new equipment such as a projector, sound system, screen and portable generators might be confiscated, thus thwarting their plans to show the 60-minute Gospel film.

That didnt happen.

We were getting ready to go through customs and the man flagged us through without checking any bags. We walked through without being processed basically, said team member Kathy Johnson, noting that doesnt often occur.

Team members later were taken to a Work and Witness site where they stayed.

The next morning they worshiped in Spanish with their Ecuadorian brothers and sisters in Christ.
