A Family Comes To Christ

NEWSLETTER- April to June, 2009
*Available HERE in PDF form.

Dear Friends & Family,

What a joy it was to lead Elena and her daughter Evelyn to the Lord! Elena’s husband, Francisco, had accepted Christ in January after being invited to come to "Friend Day." Since his salvation, he has received a lot of criticism from his parents, siblings and their families for now attending an "evangelical church." Francisco and Elena’s children are part of our Manna feeding center and have faithfully attended our children's ministries since the Sumpango church began. It is SO awesome to see a family come to Christ!

The Sumpango church has been busy with some recent events. We had 161 in attendance for our Mother's Day service, with many moms visiting to see their kids sing in a special children's choir. Father's Day in Guatemala fell on a Wednesday this year, and it was great to have over 131 in our mid-week service. Over 30 dads were in attendance that night, and were recognized with a special gift. We have seen 7 people saved over the past 3 weeks in our church services, and one more find assurance of his salvation. Please pray for these new believers as they follow the Lord in discipleship and baptism.

Mission Team
In June, a team of 20 from Suncoast Baptist Church (Florida) spent 10 days helping us with several projects -- constructing a roof over the front porch, carpeting the platform, and installing stage lights, and outside flood lights. They also helped us put on an evangelistic youth rally with special music, drama, and games. We appreciate their hard work and great attitudes! They were a blessing to our family and to the Sumpango church!

UPDATE-- Ciudad Quetzal
We are excited to report that construction is ready to begin in Ciudad Quetzal! The building plans are drawn up, and we will be breaking ground this month on phase 1 of another church & Manna feeding center. If you desire to have a part in this building project, please contact Jerry. (Phone: 941-870-2301 or Email: kinman@teamguatemala.org)

Thanks to all for your faithful prayers and support! It is a privilege to partner with you as we reach Guatemala for Christ!
