One of the primary goals of our mission has been to provide a ministry of hospitality on the campus of the Alfa y Omega Escuela Biblica here in Ocosingo. As people arrive to meet with Pablo, visit the campus or attend various functions here at the school, I try to greet them, offer them coffee, and assist them in any way I can.
So, Pablo had mentioned yesterday that he “had a meeting at 10 on Saturday morning.” No suggestion that it would be any different that his usual gatherings of 4-10 people who routinely meet with him at his office on the campus. Well, about 8:30, a small group of men had gathered on our front porch, and by 9:00, I thought I should probably brew some coffee and extend the ministry of hospitality until the meeting began at 10:00. So I started brewing, and the crowd grew. I brewed some more, then retrieved a larger coffee urn from foundation kitchen, and I kept brewing. John hurried out for cookies….by the kilo! By 10:30, we had prepared cookies and sweetened coffee for the 120 men who arrived for the “meeting” that has lasted most of the day. All in all, it went fine, but I must confess, I think I need a bigger coffee pot!!!!
