Encouraging Sundays

Well, there you are – a shot from our time of worship through music last Sunday. As you may know, we have constantly changing decorations, thanks to the fact that we worship in a place also used for various and diverse parties. Here you can see not only a disco ball, but LPs hanging from the ceiling.

But we were making our own music, singing a Mexican hymn called Give Thanks to Jesus Christ. I’m up there somewhere with my guitar, with Nathanael in the middle, sitting at the PowerPoint controls. 🙂

The last couple of Sundays have been tremendously encouraging. For example, it was great to hear people’s testimonies about the activities of the summer. It really was encouraging for us to work together in the VBS, for example, getting a lot of people involved together that aren’t always serving together directly.

We’ve also heard some testimonies. One guy in our youth group recently shared about how God worked in his life through his journey with cancer. A woman shared about severe health issues that she and her newborn son went through years ago, and how God has been drawing her to Himself since.

It is such an encouragement to hear people share, both in the service and outside of it. We can’t always see what God is doing, but He is clearly working in lives here. We’ve had quite a few new people coming as well, and so we’re looking forward to getting to know them.

In fact, we even had a hummingbird build her nest in the room we (usually) meet in. 😀

Thanks for your continued prayers, for so many lives – may God continue to strengthen us together as we reach this less-reached part of Mexico.

And I hope you’re enjoying some encouraging Sundays too!
