Meri's house dedication

A week ago Thursday there was a dedication for Meri's new house. The normal Thursday night church service was held at her house (or rather in the road right outside the house, since not everyone would have fit inside).
One of the best parts of the service was when Andre called everyone up to annoint the house with oil. Each person put vegetable oil on the palms of their hands and surrounded the house, pressing their hands against the walls and praying blessing over Meri and Ramon. Baptized believers blessed the home from the inside. Andre asked each person to think of the thing they'd want to ask God for and then ask for that same thing for Ramon and Meri.


The picture below is of the community praying over a group of people who accepted Jesus at the end of the service.
