We praise the Lord that we were very very full today. It was hard to breathe—literally. We are praying for a new building. Please pray with us. We need more space and the landlord will not allow us to put up a sign where we are presently meeting. Some men in the church have looked into renting in another place, but the rent prices are very high.
Praise:
- Sras Maria and Gloria (the elderly ladies)---Thank you so much for praying! Sra. Maria went to the cardiologist this week. Her heart is strong and there is no problem with her kidneys. They had been either staying home if her legs were swollen or only coming to Sunday school if she was doing better. The doctor did find that her sugar levels were a little bit elevated---and they will try to fix those with diet. They were rejoicing because they feel that staying for both services will not be detrimental to her health. Both ladies stayed for both services today and were thrilled that they were able to do so!
- Silvia's son Luis (a 31 year old man who fell off the top of a truck last year and landed on his head) is very weak. Pray for his salvation and strength for Silvia as she takes care of him.
- Faith is a little stronger, but still has the back problem. Her doctor seems to think that exercises may help to prevent future surgery. Amara, Faith's niece, continues to be indispensable. She is really helping with homeschooling--especially since Cristi needs to have extra help with her dyslexia.
- Janet and Vanessa---are two teenage sister who come, but whose parents are Catholic. Please pray for their testimonies in their home and that their parents will continue to allow them to come. They have not been in church the last two weeks.
- Ruth and Marcos---for putting God first in their upcoming marriage; they also missed today.
- Gabriel and Lilliana---still are unsure whether they will be able to adopt a little girl that they have been waiting for. It has been a roller coaster ride for them.
- Matilde and Erasmo--are trying to earn extra money as Erasmo is unable to work due to his amputated fingers. Please pray for wisdom also regarding homeschooling their children.
- We have so many opportunities for ministry each week. We would appreciate prayer in knowing what exactly the Lord would have us do in using our time wisely. Please pray for more workers.
- Upcoming events--May 20, Lord's Supper; May 26, Youth Group Event at an inquisition museum; June 3, Baptisms; June 25-July 1, Evangelistic Meetings with the BJU Spanish team; August 4, Marcos and Ruth's wedding.
In Christ,
Mike, Faith, Mikey, Cristiana, Carissa, Matthew, Cherith, and Caralyn Goldfuss
