Merienda

One ministry that Chanelle has been doing for a few years is called "merienda". In the past she has hosted this snack time (as well as breakfasts) at her home. These days, others who attend have started to host at their homes and the group is growing.
Each month ladies meet together to share a light meal and a devotion time. To date one very precious lady has come to faith as a result of these meetings! She is now involved in a weekly Bible study and is praying for her husband and children to follow Christ as well. We praise God for her decision and ask that you would pray that God would continue to use these times to draw others to himself.

HUGE news!!!!

The church that started in February just had its first baptism!!! We were so excited to celebrate with new believer, Nieves! She was baptized a couple Sundays ago and, like good Baptists, we followed it with a pot-luck lunch! We have two more new believers who want to be baptized but are struggling to commit to it. I admire them in that they don't want to do it lightly, but we're praying that they will take this step of faith and we know the Lord will bless them for it when they do. Please pray with us for new believers, C and A.

Los Alamos


As a thank you to our team for volunteering in their English classes and helping them, the teachers from Los Alamos took the interns and I out to eat last week. This semester's interns have worked hard at both schools where we volunteer and it has been a blessing to have them on our team.
Here we are with the teachers who took us to lunch. There were several who were not able to make it, but we were so surprised by the number who did and by the gifts they gave us! It is nice to be appreciated
