We don't really have much to blog about. Sunday was a good day, and the week has gone by fast with studying, church on Wednesday, Bible studies in member's homes, and soul-winning. There was a horrible city-wide shootout yesterday--they caught a high-up thug and in trying to spring him free, various other thugs started shootouts all over the city for about 4 hours.
Tomorrow is another busy day, with promises of being more busy during the weekend. We've started getting prepared for "Día de la Coshecha." We're praying for folks to get saved and then praying for at least 150 folks to come out.

Gearing Up to Go Out
It's been a busy and profitable week. We've conducted a couple home Bible studies, have one more tonight, and had good times on soul-winning/visitation. Last night we visited a family by request of one our people and then found a little ranch about 20 minutes away from our work that is completely isolated, very poor. I am praying God gives us the opportunity to start a mission out there very soon.
Wednesday was a good night, we had a great time around the Word of God and had great attendance.
Tomorrow will be soul-winning and visitation in the morning and evening, with studies/preparation for Sunday in between. We're looking forward to a great service on Sunday morning--I'm praying that we'll have 10 adult men.
My wife and I were talking a bit ago about how just 3 months ago we began praying for 5 faithful men, and that now we have them plus a couple extra. Now we are delighted to pray for 10 faithful men. Ain't God good!?
Everyone in the church is getting excited about "el festival de la cosecha" (harvest festival) coming up on the 23rd. They're getting excited about being there and getting excited about bringing family, friends and visitors. They're excited about praying for 150 people to come, and that God will save souls. What a blessing!
I had a great time in Bible study this morning with one of our faithful men. It was refreshing to talk about the work of God and the Word of God with him, and to explain our position on things from The Bible. He's a faithful man of the church and I look forward to using him in the ministry. He's a teacher by trade, and obviously gifted in that area from The Lord.
Busy times--much prayers are needed. We need to build the baptistry, organize the church, and keep going. I need wisdom in how to lead the work--when, how, etc to do everything that needs to be accomplished.
Thanks!
