“A man’s heart
deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.”
Proverbs 16:9
It is comforting to know that our lives and the Ministry are
in the Lord’s Hands and Direction. Even though our hearts
influence in the decisions we continually make, we can rest
assured that the Lord opens and closes the doors. Since our
return to the U.S.A. from the field of SPAIN in 2004, our
hearts desire was to start a Spanish Language Ministry
through the Park View Bible Baptist Church here in Wheat
Ridge, Colorado.
We have been actively
serving the Lord in this Church, first to build up the
English ministry (since they suffered a split in 2004 and
needed to get back on their feet). The Lord has accomplished
this with an average attendance of about 27 during Sunday
Morning Services. Our second emphasis was to start a Spanish
Outreach Ministry through the Church. We are now meeting
with an average of about 17 people.
The Lord has presented
some circumstances in which we are now going to be
redirecting our ministry emphasis. At the end of September,
we held a Church Business meeting in which we have proposed
to the brethren that they call another brother to Pastor the
Park View Bible Baptist Church. They have agreed and will
relieve us of the responsibility of Pastor when another
brother has taken over the Pastorate. This will enable us to
concentrate one hundred percent in reaching the Spanish
speaking for the Lord (using the facilities of Park View
Bible Baptist Church). Please pray with us as these changes
are made.
SPANISH MINISTRY
The Lord continues to bless in
the Spanish Outreach ministry. We continually need prayer
for those who are attending the meetings. They show a strong
interest in listening to the Word of God, they enjoy singing
songs to the Lord and the fellowship, and yet there are
those that have not made a decision to follow the Lord in
Salvation. Please pray for the salvation of Gerardo, Leo and
Karen, as they have come sporadically in the last few
months.
ENGLISH MINISTRY
These last months have been trying months of illness and
operations for our Church brethren. One brother had an
emergency with his heart defibrillator, a sister in the Lord
had to have her wrist operated on, and another had to have a
hip replacement. The most critical was that of a brother who
was diagnosed with cancer. In spite of all these
emergencies, the Lord has blessed with the salvation of
another soul!
Please pray for Ben, as
he prayed for salvation after a Men’s Prayer meeting.
As the Lord “directs our
steps” in His Ministry, we want to thank you for your
prayers and the sacrificial financial support! |
