Blessings our friends.
In this small report, our intend is to share with you some reports from the field either gathered by David in one of his trips or sent by the missionaries in the field.
We are grateful for your love gift that faithfully are sent, it makes it possible for all of us to serve with little stress. God bless you richly.
Tula & Monte Lirio is growing - Mateo Morales
It was a joy and so encouraging to hear from Mateo how the young people has taken the initiative of leading the Sunday services at Monte Lirio, allowing the older leaders to stay safe at home. It is a new generation taking over. As David said in his last report “Now that I see this young group taking the jump, I feel so very happy to see their decision.”
Also is reported that the group that meets together in Tula (planted las year) is growing. We can see how the Word is fulfilled where it says, “One is the one that sows, another waters but God is the one that makes it grow”. Is a mystery in itself, how does it happens that a seed develops under the ground, God is the owner of the field and He knows how to do it.
Cerro Miel - Pastor Enrique Javilla (report for May - July 2020)
Pastor Enrique reports that since the lockdown has being set, they have had to remain at their area they have not being able to meet at church but have being doing home church, praying and sharing the Word. A few weeks ago they started holding Sunday services using face masks, and distance
Praise the Lord that in the midst of the crisis the church is growing, because now we have 13 souls that need and want to be baptize.
In a new work at Llano Nopo, is reported that in one of the meetings 2 young girls were brought because they were possessed, they prayed for them and these young girl were set free and today they are congregating.
Pastor Enrique’s church is also administering a children feeding place, where they provide meals for kids (90 kids) on Sunday together with the Sunday teachings.
Please pray for workers, provision, person and houses of peace to start new churches, home church growth and the pastors already at the field (health and provision).
Hato Ratón - Simón Abrego (four month report)
David has being able to travel to Mateo’s place and meet with them, learn how things are developing with this crisis and how the ministry is doing. This coming Wednesday he is programmed to travel to Simon’s place, he will be taking some face mask, food and clothes, besides meeting with them to pray and encourage them in the work they are doing. We hope and pray roads will be clear for him to go according to planned.
We thank the Lord for we are doing good. Besides the snake bite to our son and our daughter coming down with the virus we are doing good.
The quarantine has limited our going out but we have being able to visit two areas in the mountains, Cerro Balsa and Cerro Gallote. Also our visits to the homes have continue where we can have a closer relationship with believers and new families, sharing and praying for them.
We have seen the hand of the Lord with new salvations, 10 between kids and adults.
Thank you for praying for us.
Zoom Training - Pastor Heitor and Talsidia
At the moment the church planting trainings based on NPL (No place left) have continued, the second group has started a few weeks ago and we received some training on how to use other tools in zoom in order to make the facilitation more interactive, things have improved. Another group is to start next Saturday with new pastors and leaders. This is something new for us so we are making improvement along the way, but we must say that we are grateful for this way of serving.
Our meetings with ladies from Asia on Saturday morning have continue where we take turns to share God’s word and pray. Also God has opened a way to join a prayer team from Haggai and from sisters in Asia to pray for the nations.
Also there are Haggai Leadership
Ministry - local.
Food bags have being distributed to 10 families, praying and thanking the Lord for this privilege of serving this way. We pray to continue doing this as long as He allows.
As for the women’s jail ministry, Martha and Talsy are coordinating in order to take some donation to the place, since they are not allowed to go it then providing is another way of loving does that cannot go out due to wrong decisions.
And lastly, Talsy finished her university studies and received her diploma in a very informal way, but got it.
At the online service held by one of our home churches in the USA, we received the word said by our Lord long time ago, but needed to be reminded for sometimes we think we are alone, “…And I will be with you always; even until the end of the age”. He is with us, always.
God bless you and keep safe.
In Him and until He comes back again
David & Talsy
Mission starts with you.
For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does.
He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
