Ok, so, in preparation for the "KidStuf" that I mentioned in the previous entry, we needed a little bit of help with the acting part of the production. Someone in the church recommended that we talk with a guy named Arturo, who is a professional actor in Queretaro, and is also studying for a Masters degree in Theater. Arturo, who is 24, was very happy to help out with KidStuf, even though he's not a Christian and didn't really have any interest in church.
Throughout the KidStuf rehearsals, the other actors (young-adult Christians from Horizonte) began to hang out with Arturo outside of rehearsals. He invited everyone to his house a few times for snacks and a movie, the Horizonte actors went to one of Arturo's plays, and they all began to have a good friendship.
After the first KidStuf, Arturo volunteered to continue helping with future productions, and the leader of KidStuf felt that it was a good idea. Last week, Arturo showed up at Horizonte for the 11 am service. He hadn't actually attended a church service before, but said he felt comfortable at Horizonte because he now has a lot of friends here.
After the service, Arturo was talking with some of his friends - Phil, Sara, and Alma Rosa. He told them that the music at Horizonte had some really interesting words about loving God and knowing Him, and he didn't really understand what that is all about. I wasn't there, but one of the people talking with Arturo said that he almost seemed a little bit irritated to be thinking about God, but at the same time, he knows that there's something different about his new friends from Horizonte. These friends worship God, but are also really cool and fun to hang out with. So we know God is working in Arturo's life, and I believe that soon he too will have a relationship with God!
I didn't have any pictures of Arturo, but I found this picture of backstage after the first KidStuf on Phil's website, so I stole it to show to you all! Arturo is the smiley guy in the middle.
