Dear brothers,

We give thanks to God, for His blessings.

Church:

Regarding the church, the brothers are growing a little more with the teaching of doctrine. As a church we have made the agreement to have a Bible Institute to train the brothers that are serving the Lord in different ministries of the church such as: our Compassion program (where we serve 270 children and teenagers and where we work with pregnant women, and we serve 35 mothers), Sunday School, and the Maranatha School where we have 237 students. We will also receive students for this institute from other churches nearby which are in Paita.

Please pray for 10 brothers that are receiving discipleship and the first week of July will be baptized. Tomorrow we'll have a day of preaching for marriages. We hope to have 150 couples in our church. We'll be showing the film "Fireproof", and I will be preaching the gospel. Please pray for this event because many families are interested in the Word.

Seminary and Bible Institute:

At the end of May we had the Bible Institute Paimas with the attendance of 15 students, five of them are pastors, and the others are leaders from their churches. In August two of them will graduate.

Regarding the Seminary, thanks to God our 18 students continue studying, and they are being prepared for the work of ministry. Please pray for everyone of them. All of the students went on mission trips, visiting churches from May 14th to the 24th. It was a very nice time and of much blessing for the churches.

In Christ,

Javier C.
