Late Monday evening--thanks for your prayers

Hola familia de OSLC Y amigos y amigas!

It's late Monday evening, July 19. Thank you for your prayers for our meeting with the church leaders tonight. There were five leaders that attended the meeting with us. We learned about various topics that the church wants assistance with including leadership training and development, Christian education training and Peacemaking training. The Peacemaking (reconciling differences in a Biblical way) is a high priority for them now, so please pray for God's Holy Spirit to move among the Florida Norte congregation to bring reconciliation where needed. We were very encouraged with the leaders openness and honesty, and we believe it is because they know that our church family loves them and wants to spur them on in following Jesus. We were also thankful to hear that their burden for the lost is still the same and that they long for many people in the church neighborhood and around the world to learn about Jesus' love.

Please ask God to grant us wisdom and grace so that we may support them in their ministry development, leadership structure and training, and peacemaking/reconciliation ministry. Thank you for all of your prayers, love and support.

love and prayers,
