Well, I never thought it would happen, but Gil Ribal is coming to Ecuador to
do some short term mission work, so we're gonna get together in CB style,
albeit abbreviated, and woefully lacking Krispy Kremes. What might we do,
you ask? HCJB has been putting on a concert with choir and orchestra for
about 50 years now to help celebrate the founding of Quito, and yours truly
will be holding down the elec. bass chair (though there is no chair as I
play standing...), so Gil might come and check that out. Or we might get
together here at HCJB (home of intense RF interference) and check out the
"Willing Mind Studio" where we do a little radio and music production. We
might also hang out at a rehearsal for my latin jazz group (Agua Fresca)
which will be doing evangelism in the parks here (we are currently preparing
and have 2 gigs upcoming on Dec 13 and 31).

hey, let me explain the "Agua Fresca" idea to you all. It means "Fresh
Water" and the idea is that the band (current version is drums, bass, piano,
guitar and horns/percussion) sets up in the park (the parks here are VERY
crowded on weekends and holidays) and hangs a banner with the name. Then
there are several water dispensers set up flanking the stage where free
glasses of water are dispensed by youth from a participating local church.
Then the band plays for some 1:15 to 1:30 hours. At the end, one of the
members gives a very brief message of how Jesus is the living water, the
true Agua Fresca for life and gives an invitation. Then the youth hand out
flyers with info about the how to accept Christ/assurance of salvation, etc.
and some info about the local church where they can come and learn more
about Jesus.

There could be a group like this in every/any city...any thoughts?
