UPDATE FROM THE MISSION FIELD: MARACAY, VENEZUELA
May the peace of Christ be with you my dear brethren.
The Lord, by His grace, continues to help us here in Maracay, Venezuela.
This month has been very busy, we continue with open-air preaching weekly,
the Lord has granted us a good time.
Also, every Tuesday we are teaching the Gospel to a group of employees of a brother of the congregation, the Lord is granting us to see people really concerned about their spiritual life in that place. May the Lord bring salvation.
By the grace of the Lord this month I had the opportunity to attend a 2-day Marriage Conference (Marriage Covenant) with a pastor who came from the Dominican Republic, Pastor Salvador Gómez Dickson of the Lord Jesus Christ Bible Church, we really needed this time to remember our Marriage Covenant that we made 15 years ago. It was a great help to us.
This weekend I was accompanying the Pastor of the congregation to a place
called San José de Mapuey in San Carlos de Cojedes. Whereby the grace of the Lord, there is a group of brothers who are meeting and want to form a local church in that place, we are helping them and bringing teachings to that place monthly, we hope to go every two weeks, but the demand is strong and there are other matters to attend to, but we are organizing to see if in a few months we can attend more regularly.
And also this weekend I was given the opportunity to preach in a church where there is no Pastor in the State of Carabobo, it was a great blessing to be able to meet new brothers.
Pray that the Lord is granting the grace to see in many places in Venezuela men and women with the desire to have biblical churches, churches where the Gospel is preached faithfully.
Keep praying my brothers, for our local church so that the Lord will raise up
more men for service. This is a continual prayer of ours.
I would also like to ask that you not stop praying for my family so that we may remain faithful to the Lord and that He may help us in raising our children. We need much of His grace.
In Christ,
