Greetings Dear Brothers in Christ,

This month God has showed us His great mercy and power. He has given us many things to rejoice in, and also has shown us how He can use weak servants for His glory and honor.

In the preaching in the park God continues to show us His power even in the midst of great opposition to His glorious gospel. There is a young woman who listened to the gospel there and is coming faithfully to the services. There is another woman who after we preached in the midst of great opposition and fury from the people, even to the point that they applauded when we finished the sermon, came to us telling with tears that she had decided to commit suicide that very evening, but after she heard the gospel, she found the hope for her life. We called her and she needs help, so we offered to help her know the Lord. We´ll meet her next week, God willing. Please pray for her. Also, other people who have heard the gospel there and The Lord has shown them their sins. May God grant them repentance and faith.

Also it is a great joy to see the fervency of our brothers here who are already preaching in the open air, and how God uses them in different ways through the gospel. Glory be to God! Please also pray for our brother Jaime, a brother from another church, who took us to a shopping center where he have got the authorization to preach the gospel  through the microphone and speaker system.  We went there last week, and for the glory of God, one of the management office´s secretaries is a believer, so she has been encouraged to go every day and take the Word. Please pray that we may go regularly, people may hear the gospel and be converted and the doors continue to be opened for the preaching of God´s Word.

We thank God also for He has brought brothers and sisters from another congregation to study the Bible, specifically the gospel and evangelism. So, we are studying once a week and they are understanding everything that the Bible is teaching them. They come from a church that is very far from us; nevertheless the group is growing in number, now there are already seven of them. Please pray that many more brothers may come to the study and they may apply these teachings to go and make disciples of every nation for God´s glory.

The preaching at the university has stopped for a while until most of the students return from vacations.

The internet ministry is bearing fruit as well. People are visiting us learning the gospel and evangelism, through our on-line school of evangelism, which by the way, is being developed in a better way for the best understanding of our brothers and sisters from other parts of the world. We pray and long for a biblical teaching of the gospel and evangelism, and not just another method of evangelism, which most of the times is carnal and not depending on the power of the Spirit of God. Please pray that God may guide us in this too, because is this way that only Him will receive the full glory for the salvation of souls.

Our responsibilities with our church have grown, so we pray for the strength and wisdom of God in all this.

Our family is growing in faith, grace and the knowledge of God, so to Him be the glory. Please pray for us that in everything we do it may be for His glory and honor, and that we may grow in love, wisdom, lowliness and meekness, and the fruit of the Spirit.

God bless you dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
