November 2009 Missionary Report
During this month we have started another
project that was on hold for some time. We have started what we consider is the
beginning of a Bible Institute. Some of the men asked several times for special
Bible classes in order to be better equipped to serve the Lord. Pastor Marco Cantu and I talked about this and
feel led of the Lord to start with a couple classes. He is teaching a personal evangelism class,
focusing on sound evangelism based on Bible Teaching and remarking the most
common modern errors (i.e. someone leading the sinner in prayer and telling him
he is now save without stressing repentance from sins). I am teaching the Theology class, focusing in
the attributes of God. Attendance to
these classes has been high so far. We
are holding the classes every Monday evening via teleconference. One class is taught live in Pesqueria and the
other in
Printing Ministry Project
We do not have much sound literature here
for distribution. We have to depend on
literature coming from other places or from the States. This creates a lot of extra effort and cost. This is at certain point limiting our
visitation and witnessing to people. So
we are convinced our final goal needs to be to have printing equipment here in
Victoria or Pesqueria. I do not have any
experience with printing process nor equipment but will have to learn. While on
“Gracia sobre Gracia” mission work
Our visitation time was very limited during
this month in this area due to our trip to Pesqueria. We continue having some regular visitors and
others have been discouraged. A young
man with the name of Gabriel was attending services very regularly but he is
not any more. He lives just next door. His family goes frequently to a nearby
Pentecostal church. Please pray for him, May the Lord teach him the way of
salvation in Christ Jesus.
“Soberano Salvador” mission work
As in previous years, Catholicism has been
present in this subdivision. They held
mass at some of the houses in this area, as well as marching/dancing of people
carrying the image of the “virgin of Guadalupe” around the streets. This is
done in preparation of one of the biggest Catholic celebrations here in
“Gracia Soberana” mission work
We made a trip to Pesqueria, and stayed there
for 3 weeks. The fact of having a rental house there is now giving us
flexibility as far as the period of time we can stay there. While in town, we started preaching and
witnessing in the subdivision called “Colinas del Aeropuerto”.
This is exactly the area where we just
rented the house. We ended hanging an ad
with the name of the mission and the services schedule in the rental house. We did have some visitors. Two little boys and one woman were with us in
the Sunday service. As I mentioned
before, we have been told that 10,000 houses will be built in this subdivision
and there is not any Christian Church. The brethren who are attending services in
Pesqueria have remained faithful, by God’s grace, at this point of time. Sister Juanita’s health has significantly
improved; she is still under close medical follow up due to the high risk
pregnancy, please keep her in your prayers.
