Wednesday evening prayer meeting.

Saturday morning visitation/soul winning
Saturday evening youth service.
Those are our weekly church activities.
And here is the calendar for all additional activities this year for the
Iglesia Bautista de Insurgentes.
Full. Exciting. Anticipating what the Lord will do this year.
There is so much joy in serving Jesus!!
This past Sunday, we added an additional service Sunday Morning.
We now have Sunday School hour as well as our regular morning and evening service.
Sunday is the Lord's Day and we love being with God's people, hearing preaching from His Word, fellowship, praying, teaching, learning, singing, praising our Lord together.
The day starts early as we get ready for the service, run bus routes, have our morning services, take people back home, clean up for the evening, often have someone over for lunch, and then a bit later, go back to the church to get ready for the evening service. We get home late, tired, and blessed. There is truly the deepest joy in serving Jesus!
Daniel has been preaching all year on faithfulness and everyone doing their part to serve.
Working together to reach our town for Christ.
Everyone is excited and just seeing them all serving together brings a smile to my face, often tears to my eyes, and a thankfulness to the Lord for all HE has done!
Brother Juan is teaching first hour Sunday morning now.
Here is a man who kicked Daniel out of his house when Daniel went to share the gospel with him a few years ago.
And he came to Christ! And he serves him faithfully with his sweet wife and four children along side him.
So many children come each week.
All week long they hear what is broadcast on the television.
What is taught in the public school.
What their friends tell them.
And once a week we get to teach them about Jesus Christ.
Once a week we get to teach them God's Word.
We get to teach them the truth!
It is the most beautiful few hours.
Hna. Lourdes and Hna. Rosa teach first hour.
Hna. Karla and I teach second hour.
And we pray for them all week long.
Some of the older ladies prepare a small snack between services.
Most of the children do not eat breakfast before they come.
Even 88 year old Hna. Juanita does her part to serve.
Meeting together in a building that is being loaned to us.
And using every room for the Lord!
I love our church!
Our family loves serving together!
Our family loves serving together!
There is nothing that brings more joy!
Thank you so much for sharing your busy days with us! I enjoyed the pictures of the boys! My 29 year old and 21 year old sons still love to "wrestle" every once in a while! God bless you and your work!

So beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteIt gives me equal joy to hear all that the Lord is doing around the world. It's especially encouraging to read about folks who wanted nothing to do with Christ and His message, and who are now preaching the Word! Praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing and encouraging us with this wonderful post. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing! You are all truly blessed!

Loved reading this post!!! Actually, I have read it several times now :).
ReplyDeleteIt is soooo exciting to see a man that was hard to the gospel, now preaching it!
I just loved seeing the pictures of all those precious souls hearing truth.
Looking forward to hearing more about what the Lord is doing there.
As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
(Proverbs 25:25)
I got tears in my eyes when I saw the photo of Hna. Juanita! What a beautiful servant!
