September – October 2024
Preaching
We recently went soul-winning in a nearby park. While there, I got to preach Christ to a young man named Luis. I went through the entire Gospel message as clearly as I could. As it often happens I couldn’t convince him to trust Christ. I started over and went over each point making sure he completely understood. I then invited him to trust Christ one more time. He then made the decision to believe on Jesus. Praise the Lord! If we don’t go and preach, the lost will never be saved.
Baptizing
Many people overlook the importance of youth ministry. It may seem to them like a waste of time. To others, they just don’t have the patience. But to those who do the work and invest the time do see fruit. These three young people are fruit of years of investment in Sunday Schools and different youth activities. They all made the decision to trust Christ at different times. Then they all made the choice to follow him in believers baptism. Pray for the youth. They are worth it!
Teaching
Our missions conference was a great success! We brought in one of our church planters, one of our newly supported missionaries, and also a prospective one. Each taught about the importance of missions and I finished by challenging our church to increase their giving. Our Faith Promise increased 25% from our last years giving! We must teach our churches if they are to grow in missions.
Reporting
In October I got invited to come home and report about all that God is doing in Colombia to a supporting church and preach a missions conference in another. I enjoyed reconnecting with old friends and also making some new ones. It does the church much good when they see how their missions giving is affecting change. If I can serve you in this way, please don’t hesitate to ask!
