Ministry News
Earlier this year, things were going well, our church was growing, and we were seeing great things happen. Over the last few months, however, it seems like Satan has really been attacking. One man that I was training for future leadership was into sin, and instead of repenting, got mad and left the church. A young man whose family faithfully serves in the church told me that he’s got a boyfriend. Another married man who was serving in the church committed adultery, and the woman is pregnant. It’s been a difficult few months, but we praise God because He is in control and will use this for the good of the church.
Besides the problems, we have some good things happening. We have three men who are taking on more responsibilities in the church. Two of them are teaching on Sundays and the other is in charge of the church music. They will be in charge when we return to the U.S. A supporting church pastor from Florida will be coming in June to give a workshop on expository preaching. We also have some people helping with counseling under Bryan’s supervision.
We just finished giving a membership class and will be having our first official church membership list. Most of the people who attend church are attending this class as well.
We look forward to seeing most of you this fall. Our schedule is pretty full, but we do have a few dates open if you are interested in us coming to your church.
Family News
In April, we went to Guadalajara for an FIM missionary retreat. It was a refreshing time to see other missionaries and hear the Word.
It’s hard to believe that our oldest, Josh, is graduating from high school next month. We will be taking a final family vacation this summer before we take him to college in August.
The kids are looking forward to returning to the U.S. Josh knows how many days left until we drop him off at college, and he reminds us almost every day.
Susan will be having varicose vein surgery on her leg on June 12th in Mexico City.
