Dear Pastors, Churches and Friends,

August 1, 2018 (Jun. – Jul. ’18)

June was a very good month.  We had a record Wednesday night attendance in June of 103 and 10 saved that same night.  Pastor Larry Leonard and his wife, Crystal, visited us from Pennsylvania in June and were a huge encouragement to both Mary and I and our church.  They understood the poverty here and desired to be a blessing; they brought down skirts for the ladies in our church and ties for the men.  We have been trying to get into a girls’ orphanage close by and were finally able to during the Leonard’s visit.  Mary is now teaching the orphans guitar, and we are praying that they will come to church with us soon.

Praise the Lord that we were able to buy a church van in June.  Thank you to those who gave towards this project, but also thanks to those who prayed.  Though not a big van, due to the seating layout we can very comfortably seat 23 people, but we have had over 35 before in the same type of van.  Pray for our vacation Bible school next week, and pray for our first missions conference … Read More »

He had attended a “Christian church” for many years but upon visiting our church, he heard the gospel clearly. He said, “they never taught me about salvation in my church” and he & his wife both got saved. Cesar & Erika had visited our church a few times last year but had not come in a while until recently. When they came back to our church, Cesar got saved and Erika got assurance of salvation. I put up a large church sign up at church and included a phrase that translates “Prepare yourself, Jesus is coming soon!” Julio was walking by one Wednesday and saw the sign. He came to church … Read More »
