5th Anniversary of the church in Bernal

Today we celebrated the 5th anniversary of the beginning of the church here in Bernal. We had a full house and had a good morning. On Wednesday, the ladies got together and cleaned the building, chairs, windows and all. Starla made curtains for the windows---the purchase of the fabric has been the ladies Sunday meal project for the last few months. Others prepared by decorating and making bookmarks for each one.

About three months ago while we were downtown Bernal we ran into a lady who used to come to church from here in town. She later left town because of abuse from her husband. Months later she returned with him, but was never allowed to attend church. It was a real surprise this morning when she walked in with her daughters and granddaughter, as well as a friend and her children. Please pray for Lupita, that we would be able to visit with her and encourage her, and that she would make a strong decision to follow the Lord.

Here are a few pictures of the morning:

August Updates

Hey,

We've had a great summer so far, but it is cool and rainy down here this time of year. I guess the altitude of 6400 ft has a lot to do with it. Summers are rainy season here in central Mexico. We do enjoy seeing the desert turn green with the rains sense it is so dry most of the year.

Ministry wise we have a lot going with the church here in Bernal.
The new opportunities to church plant in neighboring towns is also on our minds and hearts.

Our National pastors/missionaries also require attention and accountability.
We have taken on 3 more families under our fellowship this year so we have more going on than ever before.

Please keep us in your prayers.

Rick

We are excited to see so much progress in the various ministries this year.
