Report for July and August 2008

 We had 3 youth Baptized this summer!

Dear Pastor & Church:

 

We hope your summer went well. I had the privilege of leading a young man to the Lord after church in the month of May. His name is Giovanni and for several months now myself and several of the youth have been visiting him and talking with him about baptism. He and 2 other young people were baptized the 3rd of August. Praise the Lord! These  three teenagers are the first to be baptized under our leadership. Although two had been saved for sometime they had not made a decision to be baptized. We had been praying for them for sometime and had explained the meaning of Baptism to them but they kept putting it off. We are very grateful to the Lord that He is patient and doesn’t give up easily. After several weeks of speaking to them about their need to make a decision, they both agreed to be baptized. Please pray for Ana, Marcos and also for Giovanni as they seek to follow the Lord.

As you may remember we decided to rent a house not far from the church and God has really blessed. The house is better than we expected. We painted the downstairs and the owner allowed us to use two large pieces of carpet that are practically new. We haven’t had carpet for more than a year, what a blessing it is to have in our home. Sometimes we take things for granted. Amen.

We praise the Lord for His goodness towards his servants.

Prayer Requests.

1. We now have a Doctor in El Paso, Texas and Kristina had her first exam this past Thursday. The Doctor said all is well with our baby boy  but Kristina is scheduled to have an ultrasound this Saturday as a precaution. If all goes well with the ultrasound, she will have the baby next Friday.

Please pray that everything will go well  and that she will recover quickly.

2. As you know, babies require many things. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to purchase many of those necessary items. Please partner with us in prayer that the Lord will provide in His time.

Thank you again for your faithful prayer and financial support.

Jon, Kristina, Isaac, Alize and Baby. (Psalms 143)
