GUAYAQUIL—Exciting
news this week as Pastor Juan Carlos and Diana reported 7 adults in attendance at the “La 21” in-home Bible study. The
actual first meeting of this new ministry had been delayed for a few weeks due
to circumstances regarding an available home for the meeting.
Sunday before last, Pastors Nino and Pilar Medina visited one
of the female prisoners who was transferred to Guayaquil unexpectedly a few
weeks ago. The prisoner hugged them and
wept for joy upon receiving this visit.
This last Sunday, Pilar’s sister, Hilda went to the prison and took some
donated items that the prisoner was in need of.
It looks like a Guayaquil prison ministry may be in the making.
CUENCA—We thank
all of you for your prayers regarding our visas. Yesterday the government accepted our
applications and we should have our passport stamps soon. PTL!
LIGHTHOUSE CHURCH—The
month of August is vacation month in Cuenca and our attendance usually drops
miserably. However, this year, the
effect has been much less and attendance
has been good each Sunday.
This is stewardship
month and offerings are reflecting increased generosity on the part of our
givers.
Several new believers
will be baptized on September 22.
September we will be reorganizing our Sunday School. Thank God, we have new teachers who will be stepping up to the plate and taking on new
classes.
Eight students will be “graduating” to the youth group. Sunday, September 15, will be a big deal—caps and
gowns, diplomas, a big cake, food. We
should have lots of pictures of the big event and will share.
CORPORATION—Tom will
be concentrating on obtaining the necessary documents for the corporation papers in these next few
weeks. It’s been a long journey of seven
years, and we believe we are on the brink of getting everything the government
requires to obtain our non-profit corporation status. Pray for this, please.
