Last Saturday we stood on a street corner handing out 157 cellophane wrapped candy bags with a salvation bracelet and an explanation in the bag. The idea was to spread the word about what we are doing in Barajas and to get noticed. We learned a great deal but one thing was clear: if we want to get notice we need to give out a whole lot more over a longer period of time and to have many more such events. Frequency and volume seem to be the keys. Those bags went so fast that we were almost wondering if dumping them in the trash would have been slower. That said there were people looking at our website because of it though not many.

This Saturday coming up, we will be distributing more than 10,000 flyers throughout specifically mapped out parts of town in efforts to begin canvassing the entire district with the news that we are starting a church and we want to be a blessing to the people. We will see how it goes!
