Dear Praying Friends,
The day that everyone was dreading came on Thursday. Ruben had to leave. He has gone back to Indianapolis to be with Heidi. Please pray for a doctor there that will really be able to give them some help with Heidi's health. Please also pray for the Lord's direction for their future service.
It appears again that Juana and Reme and their family have lost their land case and will have to move out of their property where they have lived for the last 35 years. We are praying that Juana and Fidel will not be sent to jail. They have to go on Wednesday of this week to the magistrate's office to find out their sentence.
Christian, Alejandro and Guille's son, has faced some extremely serious temptation in his school. His main problem is that he does not want to submit to Christ. Please pray for Alejandro to come back to church and for both he and Christian to be converted.
Martha, Sylvia's friend who made of profession of faith in Christ last week with Ruben, is facing some extremely difficult circumstances. She still has not been able to come to church. Sylvia was also not able to come on Sunday. Her son Roberto was getting out of the rehab place that he has been in for the last three months. Pray that they will be able to attend this coming Sunday. Roberto's only hope is not rehab but regeneration.
The rainy season is just about gone. Every year in October, the rains leave and the pollution is not washed out every night so it accumulates. Many people are suffering with strep throat and sinusitis--so several were sick on Sunday. Cristi has had it this week in our family. Even so, we were excited to begin a study of the family. Sin has made such a mess of all the families that are in our church and they have really had no training in what real Christian families are. The danger in a series like this is to focus on externals without the heart. Please pray that we won't just have good families who do what is right, but Godly families who do what is right from a heart of love to Christ.
This coming Saturday is our first men's meeting. We are going to be studying the requirements for deacons and elders so that the men will know what they should be striving for and also what Biblical leadership in the church should look like.
Thank you for your faithful prayers,
In Christ,
Mike for all the Goldfi
