MAY UPDATE

Greating Everyone! We’re excited to share with you about some of the things Lord is doing here. We’ve been able to update our blog with some of the events as you will see below. God is working on all of us as we grow closer to Him and that’s exciting! And it’s always extra-exciting to see God moving as He heals physical ailments as well. In March, when my parents were here, we had a prayer time after the service and María (Pastor Horacio’s wife), asked my mom to pray for a cyst in her womb. She had her doctor’s appointment last week and everything has been cleared up and she testified at church on Sunday of her complete healing in her body. Praise the Lord! Please continue to pray for these requests that God would continue to move. “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind.”--Jesus.

Last month, we asked for your prayers concerning...

• Worship Workshop. We had a great time with Pastor Kevin and Brad from Houston. Kevin shared for a couple of days with our worship band some things about what worship is and then on Saturday night we had a special worship service. Lives were touched and it was a great way to help the worship band take another step in the right direction. Here is a link to the short report.
• Dentists. The five dentists that came did a great job the day they were here. Thanks for praying for them.
• Guy’s Retreat. Martin is amazing! This year’s theme was “Overcoming Your Fears.” Everything went really smooth except for a foot injury, but Martin was able to reach out to some guys that don’t come to church. He put together everything...games, speaking, chapel, kitchen, bathroom, and the dormitory. You will be impressed by seeing what he did here.

This month, would you please pray for...

• Youth Staff Retreat Six of us will be taking a day to rethink the Student Ministry and talk about why and how it functions. These meetings normally take place in my office between myself and a couple of interns; this time we’ll be adding three strong student leaders who have shown an outstanding ability to take ownership and lead. Please pray for myself, Luis (Intern Pastor), Jesus (Intern), Martin, Sandy, and Jose Luis and we listen to God’s voice for the future of this Student Ministry. (May 12)
• Student Leadership Retreat We are starting to prepare for our annual Student Leadership Overnight Retreat in July. Please pray for guidance as we begin planning. This team makes up the youth staff as well as students who stand out as leaders in the group. In the past, this has been a very important time where our team forms a bond and connects with one another. We want to give you the opportunity to join us by praying and giving towards this retreat; we need $500 US dollars. (July)
• House We have received a few hundred dollars towards the continued construction of our house. We should have enough for the kitchen upper cabinets and are in the process of looking around for prices. When we arrived in November, we had to repair our roof (almost $1,000) as the house was very wet inside and moldy. We still have plans to build a couple rooms and a bathroom upstairs. Many have asked how that’s going; as soon as the kitchen cabinets are in, we’ll be buying material in preparation for upstairs as money comes in. Please join us in prayer for the Lord’s provision. Thank you to all who have helped us in this area. If you would like to invest in our family, this would be a great way!
  

Thank you very much for your prayers and continued support.
