Beloved Brothers,

This month has been complicated for the membership of the church, because some consider that the church doesn't meet their expectations. People seek what is common in most churches, be it the music, messages which encourage them, a good infrastructure, or something that encourages them in their vanity. But we continue preaching the gospel. Even though we are few in number, I have learned to accept the way that God does things and I understand, that as I strive to preach the gospel truly, our number may decrease even more. But my goal is edify the people of God and work with these few that the Lord has entrusted to me.

This month we went out to preach as we are always doing every month. The response was less than past month, because we were just 7 brothers, who got ready to preach in the streets. My purpose is that they may learn to witness to the lost. Two sisters (Ana and Flor), had the opportunity to share with a JW follower. It was a great experience, and they put in practice what they have been learning at church.

This month we began to get ready for the anniversary of our church. Our purpose is share among us and program for next year. Likewise on Sunday evenings we are studying the doctrine of man and sin with the purpose that the message of the gospel may become clear in their minds. In this way we have also been preaching to the unbelievers who visit us.

We are discipling the youth with Paul Washer's book, and studying a book of the Bible. The children in Sunday School are learning the Old Testament.

Please always pray for us. Thanks for all your support.
