Ministry News

The ministry here in Texcoco has been challenging.  We have had a lot of ups and downs.  Church attendance has been down lately, but we have also seen how God is working.  We are glad to know that it is God’s work here, and He will bring it all about in His timing.

Our church here in Texcoco was started with a man named Odin.  Please pray for him and his family.  Odin and his wife are at the point of separation.  This is affecting the whole family.  They were at one point one of the most faithful in the church.  We are trying to restore them, however, they are currently not interested.

One of the men that we have been training for leadership, Salvador, had to quit his job because of a moral issue.  We praise God for his integrity, but his new job causes him to work all day on Saturday and Sunday.  He hopes to quit the weekend part of the job by September, but it all depends on a settlement that he should be getting from a previous employer for a lung condition he developed while making laundry detergent.  Please pray that the settlement will go through quickly so that he can be more active in church.  He is anxious to be back in church.

Now for the upside.  Last month, we asked for prayer for Nester and Nora’s salvation.  We praise God that they accepted Christ as their Savior!  We were studying on depression, which he’s struggled with since being without a job for over 6 months.  We praise God that he now has a job!  But it has been hard to continue studying with them because of his schedule.  Please pray that they will continue to study and come to church.

On Friday, June 19th, we showed the movie Fireproof at our house.  We had over 50 people in attendance!  Most of them were visitors and not saved.  Last Friday, we started a Bible study that accompanies the movie.  This Friday, we will be having our second study, and this one is an evangelistic study.  Please pray for salvation of the visitors that come.

We have also started marriage counseling with 2 unsaved couples.  Please pray that God will work in their marriages, and that they will come to know Christ as their Savior.

Susan has started an English class for kids on Friday afternoons.  We hope that we can develop relationships with people in order to share the gospel with them.

We have also been updated on our support level.  Because of some gifts that we have received and an error that was found at the mission, we are now only about $800/month under supported.  Thanks for your gifts we really appreciate them!  We are still trying to schedule new meetings for this fall.

Back in May, everything was shut down when the Swine flu epidemic hit.  All public events were shut down, including church.  We only know of 2 people personally that were infected, and they were in another city.  In Texcoco, there were some deaths because of it, however, it was not nearly as bad as it was in other places.  Attendance at our Mother’s day service was low since it was the first Sunday after the government lifted the ban on public meetings.  You don’t hear about the swine flu here anymore.  I think we gave it to you in the U.S. instead.  ☺

Aaron is getting big.  It’s hard to believe he’s already 8 months old!  Abby is talking more each day.  She’s becoming a good helper.  Josh and Caleb just finished their 2nd soccer season.  They aren’t sad, though, as soccer season is year round here, so they’re getting ready for next season already.
