LUIS MOYA
Our last Baptismal service as Pastor at Dios es Amor
Charlie, Antony, Kevin, Itsel, and Vanely.
We praise the Lord for these youth.
Some of them have grown up in christian homes,
others are the only one in their family that attends church,
and others were doing drugs 5 months ago.
We've known Kevin since he was three.
Our last service at Dios es Amor en Luis Moya
Ryan's ordination
The Church praying for their new Pastor
It was a hard day for all of us, but a good one.
How beautiful to see a church grow!
Graduations are special here in Mexico and this year
we were able to participate in two graduations in Luis Moya.
Matt and Antony
Naomi and Andrea.
Matt took several people with him when he went to preach
at a missions conference in Tabasco.
As usual, they took several boxes of literature
to give to the pastors that attended.
The group of pastors.
CAMP
We decided to have a different kind of a camp this year.
This is the group that we took from the three churches.
There were 36 of us.
Natan (2 months), Alan and Joahnas baby, was the youngest camper.
The first two days we actually went camping.
We swam...
we climbed waterfalls...
had hayrides and history....
we climbed small mountains (or large hills :-)
we had devotionals....
we had muddy adventures....
and we enjoyed God's creation....
more than once.
We thank God for a good week of camp and for His protection.
VICTORIA
VBS
This year for several reasons, we also decided to do VBS differently.
Instead of doing a 3-5 day VBS, we are doing four Saturday's in a row.
So far it has seemed to work well.
The first Saturday we had 57 children,
and the next Saturday we had 48 (it was chilly and rainy).
Here the children are painting a plaster of paris verse.
Out-reach
We've determined to reach into our city even more in this last half of the year.
We've picked up even more on literature distribution,
painted this sign, and have another one we're working on getting finished.
Now that summer is nearly over we are picking up on our visits,
and are praying for several different ways to 'get the word out'.
We would appreciate your prayers for God to make us effective tools in His Hands!
