A young girl
watched in earnest as a teenager manipulated a small, colorful cube in his
hand. Pictures appeared almost like magic as he turned, folded, and reopened
the cube. As he showed her the pictures, he told a story. It began with man’s
sin and how it separates us from God. Then he showed her a picture of Jesus
dying on the Cross and explained how that act of love removes our sin. Another
picture showed Jesus rising from the grave, and the teenager talked about the
new life Jesus brings. The girl listened intently. She’d heard bits and pieces
of this story before, but never in a way that was so clear and so visual. When
given the opportunity to pray and ask Jesus into her heart, she did so, and
another child of God was born again.
Scenes like this occur often
throughout Mexico. Along with the JESUS film, the EvangeCube is one of the more
creative ways Mexican Nazarenes are sharing their faith. As they do so, God is
growing His church. [ full article ]
