MARCH UPDATE

Greetings from Cofradia, Mexico! Just a couple of weeks ago I shared with you our last update in which I mentioned our annual Valentine’s Day Date Night for married couples and links to a couple of small reports on Short-term mission teams from Texas and Washington.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!

In our last update, we also asked you to pray for...  

1. Church Anniversary.  We will be celebrating our 4th year in the new building this Sunday.  It’s always a great time to look back and consider the faithfulness of our Lord.
2. Bible School.  Tonight we finish our Winter Quarter with 17 students.  It has been very informative and the discussions we have at the end are very thought-provoking as they challenge us to grow.  The students will be spending this next week working on their final exams.  Thank you for your prayers for them and me as I grade them.
3. Music Ministry (Worship).  God is continuing to work, please keep this in prayer. 

Here are some links to more:

• Last month’s update
• Pastor’s Perspectives: Click here to read reports from three of our Pastors.
• Cofradia’s Short-Term Missions Manual explains more of our mission in detail.
  

This month, will you please pray for...

1. Church Anniversary.  Thank you for your prayers throughout the years for this church and the continued growth in Dischipleship and Leadership (Anniversary Date: February 27; To be celebrated on March 8).   
2. Bible School Students.  Again, thank you for your prayers for them and me as I grade their exams.
3. EL RETO Mission: Las Varas.  Pastor Luis and I along with four students (including our daughter Rebecka) will be training a church in Las Varas, Nayarit on how to work with youth on March 14.  We’ll be executing a mini-RETO as well as coaching their leaders about their needs.  I will be sharing from Nehemiah with the congregation the next morning about Leadership.  We are really looking forward to this as the Lord continues to open doors for us to minister to people and churches in this region and state.
4. Music Ministry (Worship).  The main Worship Leader who has been helping me will be leaving after the 15th of March to the United States to work as a Contracted Laborer; He will be gone until next December.  Please pray for the continued growth in the locals as we develop this ministry.
5. Bookkeeping.  I am way behind with the mission’s bookkeeping.  Pray that the Lord would help me see windows of time in order to update everything.  I love to do bookkeeping, but haven’t been able to get caught up.
6. The Mission in Cofradia.  We will be experiencing some changes this year and would really appreciate your prayers for wisdom, discernment, and patience.  Pray that the Lord would guide us to the right people to talk with concerning these changes.
7. Mexican Civil Association.  We are still working on making this happen.  Pray for guidance as we move forward to establish the mission in Mexico.

Thank you so much for being part of our team as we work together to RAISE UP LEADERS IN RURAL MEXICO!!!!
