CoraBeth and Deborah.

This a little late. But this is my daughter and the pastor's daughter singing. I didn't get it all and not sure why. Anyway, it was big deal for her.

Small Congregation but a Big God!!

Early Fall Baptism 2007

Sad Situation....

The Pastor called me last night to accompany him on a visit. This gentlemen is a member but is not coming to church. He states that a medicine women (without going into explanation) told him he was a bad person and that he didn't need to go to church. Now he stated he knows she is of the devil and claims that he doesn't believe that stuff but that is reason he is not coming. He past is filled with violence, against his wife, father in law and others. The pastor questions his salvation as well as I, jut going by what I was told. We gave him some material to read. ? Nos Vemos as we say.
The wife is so distraught that she can't sleep at night due to she fears he will do something to her while she sleeps. How sad, my flesh wants to just kick his butt for being a wimp thinking he has to get his rocks off picking on his wife and anyone else he feels he can dominate. Only God can change his heart even though I would mind changing his face a bit. Don't take this wrong, for those that know me I wouldn't do anything to embarrass our Lord. But if hmm......
Anyway some of the social things we deal with in the states, domestic violence, is even more prevalent here.
Sad Situation....

You would think we are in the winter. But don't tell Zeidi this, she would have a dog fit if she knew winter was just around the corner. Oh ye, Teresa has decreed that "Winter" is a bad word and not to be spoken in her presence. I was almost put in the dog house over joking about how cold it was going to be.

Nice Song from church.

This is for my Mom. She wanted to hear some singing from our church.
Not the best sound quality.

Saturday Night Update!!!

We had our second youth/discipleship/training. All went well. I think they all came away with some tidbits of truth. The pastor's son did a great job sharing his testimony. One of the young men shared about his weekly trip to a small community about a 3 hour bus ride away. Him and his girl friend, who has went to seminary in the capital city, decided to take upon themselves this ministry last year. they have been going there on a consistent basis to study with 3 converts from an evangelist impact we did in that community. He shared about his fears and how God has given him the words to share. How God has given him opportunities to share the Gospel and meet more in that community. The church has decided to reach out to this community as well. We will do some evangelistic impacts and as a church and try start get all the converts together in a neutral area. Now realize our church has little to no money. The trip is a hard 3 hour bus ride there and back. But (I love that word when used correctly) they still want to go. We will keep you posted on how God is going to bless our small church with their obedience.

God's Blessing

Thankful for technology, Guy Muse encourages me once again without words.
When we did a vision trip to Uruguay some 5 years ago. God confirmed my call by seeing a family being baptized. This video so reminds me of that call. Thanks again Guy.
