Some of the kids at the orphanage don't speak English, and some of us don't speak Spanish. It makes for some fun interactions! In most conversations, you can fake your way through with hand motions and facial expressions! But when we share the gospel with these kids and talk about God together, its good to have some words to go along with what you are saying.
Though there is much that is different between Gaithersburg and Guadalupe, we share some things in common, and those will never change. How cool is it that we worship the same God as they do down in Guadalupe? How cool is it that Christ died for their sins and ours? Here are a few words to learn in order to talk about the gospel with the kids at Rancho3M.
Dios- God
Padre- Father
Jesucristo- Jesus Christ
Hijo- Son
Espíritu Santo- Holy Spirit
Santo- Holy
El Pecado- Sin
La cruz- The cross
El Evangelio- The Gospel
La Biblia- The Bible
La canción del Evangelio (The gospel song)
"Santo Dios en amor hecho fue
Perfecto hombre que mi culpa llevo
En la cruz mi pecado quito
Por su murte vivo hoy"
Make it a goal of your to be able to share the gospel in Spanish!
Adios!

Wow, these are already a lot to memorize! But by God's grace go I! (I'm currently having hard time memorizing body parts and names of vegetables.)
ReplyDeleteI would like to memorize the Gospel song at least. How can we learn the wording/timing?
