Dear Brothers:

We greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from whom we have our being  and whom we serve with joy in our hearts, wishing you the richest blessings in your lives, families, and Christian ministries.

This month I have been sharing the leadership of the church together with pastor Martin Z. from the 19th of this month, when he had to travel to Argentina responding the request that many churches made for him to teach the word of God, so since that date until his return on the 31st, I was in charge of the direction of the church.

With regard to the teaching ministry at church:
- I taught about "Condemnation and Justification", one of these two conditions defines the final destiny of man, either he is condemned or justified, biblical text: Romans 5:12-21.
- Also I taught about the church of Philadelphia, which despite that the fact that it was a small church and with the strength of The Lord, He didn't have anything against her because she was a church that kept the word of God and preached the name of Jesus, biblical text: Revelation 3:7-12
- Also I taught about the Parable of the Sower, pointing out that a true believer is different from he who is not becuase he bears fruit, biblical text : Mark 4.

With regard to what The Lord is doing in our congregation, I tell you that through the preaching of the gospel in the streets, the preachings of brother Paul on the internet and the conferences which are on our church's web page, The Lord is adding more people to the congregation, who are interested in sound doctrine which they have received through these means. As an anecdote, this last Sunday one man came for the first time and I asked him how  he came to us, so he told me that he listened to the preaching of Paul on the internet and he was shocked with the message. Then he wanted to see our church, but after the teaching of the Sunday School he told me that he didn't agree with this teaching because he thought that it contradicted a text of the Scripture. Therefore I showed him the texts in the Scriptures that affirmed the teaching of the class and he thanked me  for the explanation and told me that he will come again because he is convinced that we are teaching the truth.

In regards to the prison ministry, I tell you that I have been pleased because The Lord is blessing our work causing more inmates to be added to the work that He is doing through us. This  month we have given 41 certificates  to the inmates who finished satisfactorily the discipleship course. I am very happy for them because through their fidelity and perseverance I can see the work of God in their lives.

On the other hand, I feel sorry for what some of them are going through, with terrible trials that are hard to humanly resist. They need the comfort that only can come from God, that is why I ask for your prayers for God to use us as tools in His hands to transmit hope and comfort. There is a special case with brother Nick ( the story teller), who is one of the brothers that is helping us more in the ministry. He was very shocked when he knew that he was sentenced to 30 years in prison, please pray for him. On Thursday 29th  I was talking to him in order to comfort him and give him hope in The Lord, making him see through the Scirptures that the last word of every thing which has to do with the children of God is not in the circumstances, but in God's hands.

Well brothers, this is all that I have to inform of what has happened in this month. Blessings for you, your families and ministries. At the same time I ask for your prayers for The Lord to continue to strenghten and guide us in the work that He has commanded to do for His glory and honor.

Your brother in Christ,

Rogelio "Cuba" A.
