Yes, there are some exciting things coming up! If you would be willing to join us in prayer, we would appreciate it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stage
* See below for info<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, coming up on Sunday – a baptismal service!<\/strong> We will be joining the Path of Life Bible Church Jes\u00fas Mar\u00eda for a worship service – and for the convenience of a place with a baptismal tank. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please pray for those who will be following the Lord in baptism, and for their families, some of whom may not yet know the Saviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then on the following Saturday, we will be joining another church – Mount Horeb Bible Church, in the nearby municipality of Iztapalapa. Next week they’re having a VBS, and they will be inviting the family and friends of the kids to a closing program on the last day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s where we come in! A friend from our church wrote a little play based on the VBS themes, and we’ll be performing that. Another friend will give a evangelistic presentation. We’ll be playing some music. And then we’ll help with the food, and Lord willing have time to talk to people one-on-one. Please pray that we would be clear and wise as we share!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been great to see so many of the people of the church jumping in to get involved in these events! Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, I’m preparing for some important teaching times in early August. So there’s lots coming up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your prayers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Oh, in case you’re wondering – the picture is the title page of our play. It says “Iztapalapa Event” (obviously – you probably figured that out already), “Stage Play”, and then “2nd Proposal”, because she actually had two versions. The play has the main character hearing testimonies from the Bible characters that the kids learned about during the week.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
