Hi all, okay so it wasn't 37 like last week, but we did have 31! That was exciting. What is neat is that each week we have someone new come. Last night we had 2 newcomers. One of them is a lady who we have been praying for since we arrived here. She has always been one of those people I had to pray for often because she challenges my niceness. ;o) If you know what I mean?!?! So, last night she came, sat and listened to the whole story. She was incredibly nice to everyone, (answer to prayer) and even said she would come back next week. She is 82 and very set in her ways, so we are praying God will move in her life. Please pray that with us!
We actually felt like last night was a turning point night for our group. They opened up to eachother, shared many requests in Purepecha, (some were even crying) and even talked about giving an offering each week. That was a shock to Greg and I since they aren't real giving people. (plus it was ALL their idea) They all agreed that next week they would start that action. So, we are well on our way to being a true church! PTL! I will try and upload more photos today. Hope you all have a great Tuesday! Love you!
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
Great News! There are so many indicators in what you write concerning their pulling together as a church: sharing together, praying for each other, breaking with natural tendencies to give offerings. May God continue to bless!
