Not a fairy tale....

    Once upon a time, there was a boy about 13 years old who came to a party at church for an awards ceremony that was given for the children who were part of an Upward Soccer Tournament....He hadn't participated in the soccer league but came because a neighbor invited him....  When the invitation was made to accept Jesus he opened his heart and Christ came in!  That was about 4 years ago!  Thanks to our brother Manny who came from a distant land called Niceville with a heart for the under privileged, these children were able to have a wonderful two seasons of Soccer focused on learning the Word of God.  Then one day the young boy brought his little brothers to our little country Mission School in Laguna del Valle.  Danny and Pablito began to grow in Christ which made their mother curious about what was making the difference....Ana began to attend our after school program where she became part of our Women's bible study.  One day she shared a story of the pain and anger she had stored in her heart because of physical abuse of her stepfather.  She also shared a very sad story of a brother who also suffered abuse of a negligent grandmother who caused paralysis of her baby brother.  Due to the neglect the young boy died a very sad, sad death.... As she shared with much pain we watched Jesus begin to wash away every tear, every pain, every resentment and root of bitterness in this young mother as she learned that if she didn't forgive she wouldn't be forgiven!  What was the result of her leaving her pain at the feet of Jesus?  Her mother, her brother his wife and her two-step sisters came to Christ!  It has been such an incredible experience watching this family being transformed.  Her sisters are young mothers as well and have since this story began, allowed their children to come to the school and to church and are now members of the church.

      The beauty the Lord makes from the ashes of our lives is so incredible!  The two young sisters share the same father who is Ana's stepfather.  When the girl's mother got very sick this last year, we watched her go through a lot of physical anguish because she is diabetic with a weak liver.  It is interesting that she says it is due to all the "coraje"  or anger that she has bottled up inside due to her very difficult life which first began with an alcoholic husband and then with a physically abusive 2nd husband...  The Lord touched Carmen with His redemptive love and the healing began!  As she was in the hospital she had a visit from the father of her two youngest daughters.  He came to seek relinquishment in a way of the guilt he had carried so long that caused their marriage to dissolve, absolution for the pain he had caused his wife.  She forgave him in her heart and it has been incredible to watch her move to compassion for the one who caused her so much anguish.

    A few months ago the father suffered a stroke causing paralysis on his left side.  He has been in bed now for several months and it had been impossible for him to get up.  His current wife has to work full-time to support them and he must now depend on his daughters to take care of him.  The Lord working in these girls lives put it on their hearts to share the transforming power of Jesus with Him.  As they displayed changes in their own lives he began to seek more....He has been a very devout Catholic attending church practically everyday but his private life exhibited something complete different.  Carmen, the two girls and Ana have sought him out to encourage him.  As they spoke so fondly of Christ and His church the man asked to speak to us.  Well yesterday was the day that he took us there....As tears flowed from His eyes, he listened to God's love story and something began to happen.  When he was told that religion didn't save him, reading the bible didn't save him, good behavior didn't save Him...there was a pause.  He really thought he had been doing all the right things working his own righteousness which only left him empty in the end.  A white-washed tomb on the outside and dead on the inside.  The tears flowed....  Then Jesus and the Holy Spirit came like a flood and washed His tears away as he confessed his sin and Jesus covered him with His blood!  Mario now has his name written in the Book of Life!

      This story began with a boy, Pancho, let's not forget about him....He now must be about 17 years old...my heart breaks to think how the enemy has sought to devour him so many times...I would ask you to pray for this boy who had the seed planted in his heart, who shows up every now and again knowing that he needs to follow the Lord, but the influence of the drug's, wrong friends, and the world want to consume Him!  Please join us in praying for this boy who the Lord used mightily to bring his whole family to the cross!

   I guess the most amazing thing to me is that our lives are not a fairy tale but a true story for those in Christ which truly can look forward to a happy ending....a place called Heaven.  It is such and incredible blessing to watch and be a part of what the Lord is doing to give this truly happy ending to so many people who are being saved, ready for His return!  As we watch this Holiday Season unfold, let us not forget what is truly important....The birth of His Son who came to bring healing to the broken hearted and to make straight the path of those who would truly seek Him!

   I share this hoping it will bring encouragement to your heart today as you work to build God's Kingdom during these oh so tumultuous times.  We can be confident in this...God is still sitting on the Throne and He will have the last word!  He is the beginning and the end, the author and the finisher of our faith!  He will rejoice when He sees all those bowing before His throne in worship and praise of His redemptive power that He gave us at the cross through the Name that is above all names, Jesus Christ our Lord!

Sing to the Lord all the Earth! He is worthy to be praised!

CCMS students worshipping the Lord at the Old Folks Home

Hello Family and Friends from Sunny Puerto Vallarta!

    We are here the day after the Election trusting the Lord for the future of the United States which in turn will affect all of His people here in Mexico.  This Thanksgiving season we especially thank the Lord today for the biblical truth that reminds us that He still sits on the throne and is in complete control of all His children’s lives…there is such an incredible peace in trusting in His Sovereignty.  Praise be to the Powerful name of Jesus!  I believe this will lead us all in the church to become more committed to holiness and prayer. 

     This is an update to let you all know what we have been up to in Calvary Puerto Vallarta and to include you in our prayer and praise needs.  After a very busy summer and early fall season we look back and thank the Lord for His faithfulness in blessing the work of our hands in the church. 

      We had a wonderful fall outreach at the basketball court in Laguna del Valle where the nets were cast and the results were great!  Our class attendance at the school was increased incredibly!  The fun part is that there are kids attending that we knew as babies who are now pre-teens.  We had been praying for that certain part of the Colonia where there were children that attended our bible classes when we would go out many moons ago on Saturday and Sunday mornings.  Since the time we began to give classes in the afternoon these kids stopped attending because they have their regular school in the afternoon.  Now many of them are attending school in the morning and have returned in the afternoon.  God is faithful to complete the work that He has started in each one who has put their trust in Him!

Sarahi praying with the new children to receive Jesus!

   

     Other news, we had our Hallelujah party last week which was a great time of fun, fellowship, and salvation for several new children and adults.  The theme was the “Hallelujah Fair” which was based on our Summer VBS which Calvary Albuquerque Vertical Youth brought down with them when they served here this past summer.  We were able to use many of the decorations and props that we made for the VBS and other materials we have used in the past for this particular outreach.  Calvary PV’s youth group Radical worked hard as well developing new games and additional decorations.  They served tirelessly making a special night for many children.  The church was converted into a fairground and the kids had a blast!  All this to say that we were able to save a lot of money recycling those things the Lord blessed us with in the past.  We had several of our visiting brothers and sisters who were so kind to help provide the food, snacks, and small prizes for the kids.   This was an incredible blessing as tithing has dropped.  Where the Lord guides He surely provides….!  We thank Him for those that are new to His kingdom and pray for their continued growth.

Xochitl...she is hanging on to Jesus!

     We just began our Sunday morning English service this past Sunday at 9:00 a.m.  As high-season in Vallarta begins we have those who used to meet Sunday night for an English bible study.  With this in mind Pastor Bill decided to start an English morning service.  We pray that it will be a blessing to those who attend. We are continuing to pray for our Bilingual service at 10:45 which will serve those visitors who want to be part of the Native Mexican body…  Many visitors come just to serve alongside this beautiful group of people in worship, fellowship, and friendship.  The church continues to grow and fill up with new people all the time.  Our Sunday school classes for the kids are growing not only in numbers but in conviction for the Word of God!  The Kids love the Bible!  It is such a blessing to see how many of the youth have grown spiritually because they started so young in children’s ministry.  The Lord is right when He says that we will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven lest we become as little children….they are the ones that will learn how to “persevere until the end of the age” because their feet are on the Solid Rock of Jesus! 

     The beautiful thing about the Lord’s grace is that it doesn't matter if you came to Jesus older in life His promises are for us too!  He exchanges beauty for ashes….He completes the work He has started…His Word does not return void!  Thank you Lord for working in the lives of all the people who are coming through the doors at Calvary PV!

      A new ministry has started at the Old Folks home.  Susanna and Raquel had it on their hearts to visit the Old Folks home so we accompanied them with the children.  The kids from CCMS shared music with Bill and me which was a blessing for these lovely people.  It was a bit overwhelming for the children to see some of these people in the last stages of their lives and a few cried.  But it was wonderful for the younger generation to remember that these folks had been granted a long life because they probably honored their parents when they were young.  We were allowed great object lessons for the children.  Susanna led another group out there this past Friday and the Word was shared along with worship music.  Pray for the Lord’s direction in this ministry.

     We are thankful to the Lord for His strength that He puts in us to continue on in His ministry in spite of obstacles, attacks, and small bumps in the road.  We are ever so grateful that He has brought us to a place where we realize that any setbacks are permitted by Him because He desires something else.  With every trial and temptation He avails us a door of escape and He illuminates our path with His powerful Word!  We glorify Him in all trials because we already know the end of the story….it's called Heaven!

      Please pray with us as some of our longtime snowbirds will not be making it back this year.  The wonderful thing is that He is teaching us to trust in Him for the helpers not in the helpers.  We know He will provide for the administrative help we need through others.  As the ministry grows we still need workers for the harvest.  He has sent two, Paco and Bertha Sanchez.  They are a big blessing to Bill and I and the body of Christ.  Many of our members are new in Christ and are trying themselves just to abide in Christ and sometimes they don’t understand yet the value of serving the Lord in the Church… Life is hard to live down here because of the tight economic situation and it takes a while for them to learn to trust in the Lord for everything.  Pray the Lord would help them see that they are such an important part of the Body in the church that He wants to use each one with their gifts in expanding His kingdom. 

CCMS Children's Choir at Christmas Outreach 2011 

      We also need prayer for God’s provision for our Christmas Outreach.  One of our regular supporters for this outreach won't able to help for this particular project this year because of changes in the economy.  Anyone who would like to contribute for the gifts we distribute at this outreach at Christmas would be greatly appreciated.  We have the faith to believe that the Lord will provide so with that we put this need before Him and before you.  Part of what we do is travel to buy the gifts in Guadalajara in their downtown district where toys are more economical which means we can service more children.  The sole purpose of this outreach is to bring families to the party to be able to evangelize them with the Gospel.  We’ve handed out 500 hundred gifts each year plus a snack and candy “bolo”.  We can usually provide an age appropriate gift for about 8 dollars per child.  We trust the Lord for His provision. 

       The “Radical” youth group always does a great job with an evangelical drama, the CCMS children’s choir presents special music and we develop a play around the story of Jesus.  We have the workers for the Harvest we just need resources to make it happen!   Please pray with us!

Praise Reports:

     We praise the Lord for a brother and his wife from Canada who came here last season who found out while he was in Vallarta that he had cancer.  He received prayer by one of our elders and a sister and received God’s touch of healing and strengthening.  The way he describes it is that something made him stand up and go forward for prayer at the Sunday morning service.  It was something he had never done in his life as a Christian and says it was not to be mistaken as an impulse within himself but a call of the Holy Spirit!  He thought he would not be back this season as they detected lung cancer of the worst kind!  He has responded to the treatment and we were blessed to have him and his wife back in fellowship with us this year!  We praise the Lord for prompting the body of Christ to pray for the needs of the body! 

     We praise the Lord for His continued mercy and grace of granting the church to function financially even in hard economic times.  We are able to pay the rent and the bills and continue to do outreach at the mission and in the church.

     We praise Him for the spiritual surgery he continues to do in our hearts and the hearts of His children….even when it hurts he brings healing and restoration.

.

     We praise the Lord for all the new believers that He adds daily to His kingdom.  We thank Him that the church can now be opened during the day as He has provide other workers to help. 

Prayer Requests:

     Please pray for God’s help in being sensitive to the Holy Spirit to know how to meet the spiritual needs of the body through His Word.  We want our hearts to always be His heart for the lost and needy.

     Please pray for continued unity and vision in Calvary Chapel Puerto Vallarta.  That the body would learn there is blessing in coming under the authority of the leadership He has put in place.  That we would have the same mind and heart in all that we do for Him.  Please pray against the attack of the enemy as folks would like to form cliques and forget to put their eyes on Jesus.

     Please pray for holiness in the body and not comfort.  That God would help them see that when we work on personal holiness He gives us that peace in the midst of any situation.

     Please pray for God’s strengthening as Bill and I feel the effects of time on our bodies.  My body continues to pose as an obstacle because of my fibromyalgia.  I am amazed that He always allows me do all that I am able to do, but I never want to be confined to bed because of physical weakness for our desire is to always be about the Lord’s business.  We ask for continued strengthening for both of us.

     Please pray for our children:  Estie who is in Bible College.  Please pray the Lord will provide for her to come home at Christmas break.  Also for her continued commitment to apply herself to her studies.  Please pray for Abby who is sick right now with the Shingles…unusual for someone so young.  It is interfering with her schooling…Please pray for her healing and that she will be able to catch up with her school work.  For Micah please pray for continued spiritual growth as he takes on more responsibilities at the church helping with Worship and Media.  Please pray he would continue to learn the deeper meaning of Worship.

     Thank you all so much for taking the time to read and pray about these things with us.  We love all of you and are so grateful to have so many friends and family that are behind the vision the Lord has given us here in our lovely church in Calvary PV.

Para Nuestros Amigos y familiares que hablan Espanol!

¡Cantad al Señor toda la tierra! ¡Él es digno de ser alabado!

 ¡Hola familiares y amigos desde el soleado Puerto Vallarta!

Estamos aquí un día después de las elecciones de Estados Unidos confiando el futuro de nuestro país al Señor que también afectará a toda Su gente aquí en México. En esta temporada de Acción de Gracias queremos agradecer especialmente a Dios por la verdad bíblica que nos recuerda que todavía Se sienta en el trono y está en completo control de todas las vidas de Sus hijos ... existe una increíble paz al confiar en Su Soberanía. ¡Bendito sea el poderoso nombre de Jesús! Creo que esto nos lleva a todos en la iglesia a ser más comprometidos con la santidad y la oración.

Esta es una actualización para que todos ustedes sepan lo que hemos estado haciendo en  Calvary Puerto Vallarta e  incluirte en nuestras oraciones. Después de un verano y principios de la temporada de otoño muy ocupados volvemos la vista atrás y damos gracias al Señor por su fidelidad al bendecir la obra de nuestras manos en la iglesia.

¡Tuvimos un maravilloso alcance en la cancha de baloncesto en Laguna del Valle, donde se compartió el evangelio y los resultados fueron muy buenos! ¡Nuestra asistencia a clases en la escuela se incrementó increíblemente! Lo divertido de esto es que hay niños de los que asisten que los conocimos de bebés y ahora son pre-adolescentes. Habíamos estado orando por cierta parte de la Colonia donde había niños que asistían a las clases de Biblia hace muchas lunas pasadas los Sábados y Domingos por la mañana.

Felix y Freddy acceptando Cristo en sus corazones!

Desde el momento en que comenzamos a dar clases en la tarde, estos niños dejaron de asistir porque asisten a la escuela regular por la tarde. Ahora muchos de ellos van a la escuela por la mañana y han regresado por la tarde. ¡Dios es fiel para terminar la obra que Él ha comenzado en cada uno de los que han puesto su confianza en Él

Ana Nayeli....

Otras noticias,  la semana pasada tuvimos nuestra fiesta de Hallelujah que fue un gran momento de diversión, compañerismo y salvación para varios niños y adultos nuevos. El tema fue la "Feria Aleluya", que se basa en nuestro Verano VBS que el grupo de Calvary Albuquerque Vertical Youth trajo con ellos cuando sirvieron aquí el verano pasado. Hemos sido capaces de utilizar muchas de las decoraciones y accesorios que hicimos para el VBS y otros materiales que hemos utilizado en el pasado para este alcance en particular.

Ana y Julie en el puesto de la Pesca!

El Grupo de Jóvenes de Calvary Puerto Vallarta "Radical" trabajó muy duro, desarrollando nuevos juegos y decoraciones adicionales. incansablemente haciendo una noche especial para muchos niños. ¡La iglesia fue convertida en un parque de diversiones y los niños se maravillaban! Con todo esto quiero decir que hemos sido capaces de ahorrar mucho dinero reciclando las cosas con las que el Señor nos ha bendecido en el pasado.

Pintamos Preciosas Caritas!!!!

Varios de nuestros hermanos y hermanas que nos visitaron fueron muy amables   ayudándonos con la provisión de  la comida, bocadillos y pequeños premios para los niños. Esta fue una bendición increíble porque el diezmo ha disminuido. Cuando el Señor guía, Él provee !!!! Le damos gracias por aquellos que son nuevos en su reino y oramos por su crecimiento.

Este domingo pasado iniciamos con nuestro servicio  completamente en inglés que es a las 9:00 a.m., debido a que la temporada alta inicia en Vallarta tenemos a nuestros hermanos que solían reunirse los domingos en la tarde para el estudio bíblico en inglés. Con esto en mente el Pastor Bill ha decidió iniciar con un servicio en inglés los domingos por la mañana. Oramos para que esto sea de bendición para aquellos que vienen al servicio.  También continuamos orando por nuestro estudio bilingüe que es alas 10:45 que servirá a los visitantes que quieran convivir con nuestros hermanos mexicanos. Muchos visitantes vienen solo para servir junto con este hermoso grupo de personas en la adoración, compañerismo y amistad. La iglesia continúa creciendo y se llena de gente nueva todo el tiempo. Nuestra escuela dominical para niños crece no solo en miembros sino también en la convicción por la Palabra de Dios!!! Los niños aman la Biblia!! Es una bendición ver como muchos de los jóvenes han crecido espiritualmente porque ellos empezaron muy jóvenes en el ministerio de  niños. El Señor tiene razón cuando dice que no vamos a entrar en el reino de los cielos sino somos como niños, ellos son los que van a aprender a "perseverar hasta el fin del mundo" porque sus pies están sobre la Roca Sólida de Jesús.

Tiempos de Oracion...Son lo mejor!

¡Lo hermoso de la gracia del Señor es que no importa si viniste a Jesús cuando eras de más edad porque Sus promesas también son para nosotros! ¡Él cambia la belleza por cenizas .... Él completa la obra que Él ha comenzado ... Su Palabra no volverá vacía. Gracias, Señor, por trabajar en las vidas de todas las personas que cruzan las puertas de Calvary PV!

Un nuevo ministerio ha comenzado en el asilo de ancianos. Susana y Raquel tenían en su corazón visitar el asilo y las acompañamos con los niños. Los niños de CCMS compartieron música con Bill y conmigo, fue una bendición para estas personas encantadoras. Fue un poco abrumador para los niños ver algunas de estas personas en la última etapa de su vida y algunos de ellos lloraron. Pero fue maravilloso para esta generación que aún es joven recordar que esta gente se les había concedido una larga vida porque probablemente honraron a sus padres cuando eran jóvenes. Nos dejaron grandes enseñanzas para los niños. Susana el viernes pasado  llevó a otro grupo al asilo y compartieron la Palabra y adoraron al Señor. Oremos por la dirección del Señor en este ministerio.

Estamos agradecidos con el Señor por la fuerza que Él pone en nosotros para continuar en Su ministerio a pesar de los obstáculos, ataques y pequeños golpes en el camino. Estamos muy agradecidos de que nos haya traído a un lugar donde nos damos cuenta de que cualquier retraso es permitido por Él, porque Él desea algo más. En cada prueba y  tentación nos da una puerta de escape y ¡Él ilumina nuestro camino con su Palabra poderosa! Nosotros le glorificamos en todas nuestras pruebas, porque ya sabemos el final de la historia .... se llama ¡el Cielo!

Por favor, oren con nosotros, algunos de nuestros pájaros de la nieve que vienen desde hace mucho tiempo no lo van a poder hacer de nuevo este año. Lo maravilloso es que Él nos enseña a confiar en Él para proveernos de ayudantes, no en los ayudantes. Sabemos que Él se encargará de la ayuda administrativa que necesitemos a través de los demás. A medida que el ministerio crece necesitamos trabajadores para la cosecha. Él ha enviado dos, Paco y Bertha Sánchez. Son una gran bendición para Bill y para mí y para el cuerpo de Cristo. Muchos de nuestros miembros son nuevos en Cristo y están tratando simplemente de permanecer en Cristo y, a veces no entienden aún el valor de servir al Señor en la Iglesia ... La vida es difícil aquí debido a lo apretado de la situación económica y nos toma tiempo aprender a confiar todo en el Señor. Oremos al Señor para que les ayude a ver que son una parte importante en el cuerpo de la iglesia que Él quiere usarnos a cada uno con nuestros  dones en la expansión de su reino.

También necesitamos oración  por la provisión de Dios para nuestro alcance navideño. Dos de nuestros colaboradores habituales para este alcance no parecen capaces de ayudar en este proyecto en particular este año debido a las pruebas más importantes de sus vidas. Cualquiera que quiera contribuir para los regalos que distribuimos en este alcance en Navidad sería muy apreciado. Tenemos fe en que el Señor proveerá, ponemos esta necesidad ante Él y ante ti. Parte de lo que hacemos es viajar a comprar los regalos en Guadalajara, en el centro de la ciudad los juguetes son más económicos lo que significa que podemos servir a más niños. El único propósito de este alcance es unir a las familias y que se les comparta el evangelio. Hemos entregado 500 regalos cada año, más un refrigerio y dulces "bolo". Por lo general podemos dar un regalo apropiado para su edad de unos 8 dólares por niño. Confiamos en el Señor por Su provisión.

"Radical" el  grupo de jóvenes siempre hace un gran trabajo con el drama evangelístico, el coro de niños CCMS nos interpreta música especial y se desarrolla una obra en torno a la vida de Jesús. ¡Contamos con los trabajadores para la cosecha sólo necesitamos los recursos para hacer que esto suceda! ¡Por favor, oren con nosotros!

Acciones de Gracia y Reportes de Alabanza!

Alabamos al Señor por la vida de nuestro hermano y su esposa provenientes de Canadá, vinieron la temporada pasada y estando en Vallarta se enteró que tenía cáncer. Un anciano y una hermana de nuestra iglesia oraron por él y Dios lo tocó para ser sanado y fortalecido. La forma en que lo describe es que algo lo hizo ponerse de pie e ir al frente para recibir oración en el servicio del domingo por la mañana. ¡Era algo que jamás había hecho en su vida cristiana y dijo que no debía ser confundido como un impulso dentro de él, sino un llamado del Espíritu Santo! Él pensó que no volvería esta temporada, ya que se le había detectado cáncer de pulmón que es el peor de su tipo.  ¡Él ha respondido al tratamiento y tuvimos la bendición de tenerlo a él y a su esposa de nuevo en comunión con nosotros este año! ¡Damos gracias al Señor porque llevó al cuerpo de Cristo para orar por las necesidades del cuerpo!

Damos gracias al Señor por Su continua gracia y misericordia por conceder a la iglesia funcionar financieramente, incluso en tiempos de dificultades económicas. Estamos en condiciones de pagar la renta y las cuentas y seguir haciendo alcances en la misión y en la iglesia.

Le alabamos por la cirugía espiritual que sigue haciendo en nuestros corazones y en los corazones de Sus hijos .... incluso cuando nos duele Él nos sana y restaura.

Alabamos al Señor por los nuevos creyentes que Él va añadiendo diariamente a su reino. Agradecemos al Señor que la iglesia ahora puede estar abierta durante el día, como también que haya provisto de gente para ayudarnos.

Peticiones de Oración:

Por favor oremos para que Dios nos ayude a ser sensibles al Espíritu Santo para conocer las necesidades espirituales de Su iglesia a través de su Palabra. Queremos que nuestros corazones sean como Su corazón para los perdidos y necesitados.

 Por favor oren por la continua unidad y visión en Calvary Chapel Puerto Vallarta. Que el cuerpo aprenda que es de bendición estar bajo la autoridad y liderazgo de aquel a quien Dios puso en eminencia. Que todos tengamos la misma mente y corazón en todo lo que hagamos por Él. Pedimos oración en contra de los ataques del enemigo que la gente se olvide de hacer grupos y pongan su mirada en Jesús.

 Por favor oren por la santidad en el cuerpo y no la comodidad. Que Dios les ayude a ver que cuando trabajamos en la santidad personal, Él nos da la paz en medio de cualquier situación.

Por favor, oren para que Dios fortalezca a Bill y siento los efectos del tiempo sobre nuestro cuerpo. Mi cuerpo sigue constituyendo un obstáculo a causa de mi fibromialgia. Estoy sorprendida de que Él siempre me permite hacer todo lo que soy capaz de hacer, pero no quiero volver a estar confinada a la cama debido a la debilidad física, nuestro deseo es siempre estar en los negocios del Señor. Pedimos fortalecimiento continuo para los dos.

Por favor oren por nuestros hijos: Estie que está en el Colegio Bíblico. Por favor oren al Señor para que provea para que pueda venir en las vacaciones de Navidad. También por su compromiso con sus estudios. Por favor oren por Abby que esta enferma en este momento. Esta interfiriendo con sus estudios. Por favor, oren por su sanidad y que sea capaz de ponerse al día con sus estudios. Por favor oren por Micah en su continuo crecimiento espiritual así como también ha asumido más responsabilidades en la iglesia ayudando con la alabanza y multimedia. Por favor oren para que continúe aprendiendo lo profundo del significado de la alabanza.

Gracias a todos por tomarse el tiempo para leer y orar acerca de estas cosas con nosotros.

Los amamos y estamos muy agradecidos de tener tantos amigos y familia que están detrás de la visión que el Señor nos ha dado aquí en nuestra iglesia amada en Calvary PV.

 ¡Damos gracias a Dios por todos ustedes que por medio de tu oraciones y apoyo hacen posible que continuemos haciendo cosas para el Reino de Dios!
