Sorry for not giving an update of Easter Sunday right away! We still did our normal routines with school as well as doing several additional ministry events because of the Easter Vacation week. So here it goes:
Sunrise service was packed! We had people outside of our house. We think there were around 105 people!!! It was a blessing. One of our ladies, Juana, has been inviting some of her neighbors who had stopped attending a Baptist church nearby. Evidentally, these people were missing preaching from the Bible that they had had a number of years back. Their church has turned into "raising money for projects". Juana is very concerned about helping their church since many don't understand salvation. Since the number was growing of different people who had stopped attending the Baptist church and who were planning to come on Easter morning, Mike formally invited the pastor and the rest of the congregation. The Pastor said that he would send 20 people over for the Sunrise Service because he was going to be out of town. Well, the 20 people came as well as 20 more who hadn't been attending their church. Then the Pastor also showed up!??
We were happy that so many came, but then the Pastor pulled a switcher-rooskie. He called all of the people that were and had been attending to leave because they had a service at 10. We were a little sad, but then 5 minutes after they all left, a good number of the Bible Club kids came with several of their parents! We had another 25 or so--and we could concentrate on serving them. Please pray that this other church would return to the Bible, and pray for Juana as she is very burdened for these people who once had the truth, but --many are now depending upon their works.
- Please pray for Flor---a mother of 3 Bible Club children, who says she'd like to go to church again. -The family of the kidnapped girl, Danielle, did not come.
- 2 families in the church are struggling with husband and wife relationships.
- The Last Bible Club was today!!!! It went very well. The children are very sad to have it be over.
In Christ, Mike and Faith for all the Goldfii
